Martha Lyrics

Martha she listens for the ticking of my footsteps
Patiently.
She sifts the hairy air that's worn and woodswept,
Pleasantly;
She does as she pleases:
She listens for me.

Martha she calls to me from a feather in the meadow,
"Fly to me;
You can dance and sing and walk with me;
And dreams will fade and shadows grow in weed."

She does as she pleases:
She waits there for me.
She does as she pleases:
Her heels rise for me.

My love, she talks to winking windows
As she murmurs to her feet, Jefferson Airplane - Martha - http://motolyrics.com/jefferson-airplane/martha-lyrics.html

Thoughtfully.
She separates in laughter to my side,
Caught for me.

She does as she pleases:
She waits there for me.
She does as she pleases:
Her heels rise for me.

Martha, she keeps her heart in a broken clock,
And it's waiting there for me.
She weeds apart through a token lock:
What a great thing to be free.

She weeps time, starts unspoken;
But when the gate swings,
There she'll be, there she'll be:
In green sun,
On blue earth,
Under warm running shower.
