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 |
