Jefferson Airplane – Martha lyrics
Paul Kantner)
Patiently;
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,
You can dance and sing and walk with me;
"Fly to me:"
And dreams will fade and shadows grow in weed;
She does as she pleases,
Her heels rise for me;
As she murmurs to her feet,
My love, she talks to winking windows,
Thoughtfully;
Caught for me;
She separates in laughter to my side,
She does as she pleases,
Her heels rise for me;
And it's waiting there for me;
Martha, she keeps her heart in a broken lock,
What a great thing to be free;
She weeds apart through a token lock;
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 showers
