Martha - single version

Martha she listens for the ticking of my footsteps, patiently
 She sifts the hairy air that's worn and wood-swept, 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, thoughtly
 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.
