Martha she Am listens for the Bm/A ticking of my Am footsteps,
Bm/A patient Am ly Bm/A
She Am sifts the hairy Bm/A air that's warm and Am woodswept,
Bm/A pleasant Am ly Bm/A
Bb Ab C Bb Am / / / Bm/A / / / (repeat)
She does as she pleases, she listens for me
Verse 2:
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 (??, something that
rhymes with 'me')
Bb She does as she Ab pleases, she F waits Eb there for Bb me Eb Ab
Bb She does as she Ab pleases, her C heels Bb rise for Am me Bm/A
Verse 3:
My love she talks to waking windows as she murmurs to her feet,
thoughtfully
She separates in laughter to her side, caught for me
She does as she pleases, she waits there for me
She does as she pleases, her heels rise for me
Verse 4:
Martha she keeps her heart in a broken clock, and it's waiting
there for me
She weaves apart through a token lock, what a great thing to be free
Am She weeps, tired and starts unspoken, but when the gate swings,
There she'll be
There she'll be
(no accompaniment)
In green sun
On blue earth
Under warm running shower
*****
Does anyone know the words to that last line of the second verse?
I would appreciate feedback.
