Martha

Martha - Jefferson Airplane

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 **

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 **s 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
