1. |
Martha walks alone in
the moonlight |
| |
Martha sleeps alone
in her bed |
| |
Martha lies there and
remembers |
| |
All he said |
| |
|
2. |
Martha goes to work in
the morning |
| |
Martha does the housework
at night |
| |
Martha goes through all
the motions |
| |
Not quite right |
| |
|
| chorus |
Last week it was Martha's
birthday |
| |
She celebrated alone |
| |
She bought herself a present |
| |
Then went home |
| |
To wait by the phone |
| |
|
3. |
Martha tells her friends,
"He'll be back soon" |
| |
They pretend they feel what she feels |
| |
No one ever says, "But Martha
|
| |
He's not real" |
| |
|
| chorus |
|
| |
|
4. |
Martha walks alone in
the moonlight |
| |
It's the only time she lets herself cry |
| |
Martha knows he'll never
come back |
| |
But not why |
| |
|
| coda |
She may never know why |
