Martha(Remastered 2010) - Mary Hopkin

作词：Harvey Andrews

作曲：Harvey Andrews

Martha sits by the telephone

Hoping someone will call

She's on her own again

She has so much she can talk about

And there'll be gossip she can hawk about again

Did you stumble home drunk and loud

To an empty room with no one waiting there

Is your life a black and broken cloud

Then Martha will feed upon your despair

See the curtain move she watches you

Listening through the broken walls

And rotting floors

Don't make a slip

Martha catches you

Hiding on landings

And peering round the doors

Did you enjoy yourself and laugh and sing

Then Martha will disapprove and shake her head

No matter what the day ahead will bring

Martha will circulate each word you said

Like the vulture Martha hovers high

Waiting to pounce upon your shattered dreams

Her twisted smile and her nodding head

Disguise her haggard world of lies and schemes

Who was it took and broke her young girl's heart

And branded it and burned her mind

Who was it tore her life apart

And left it for the rats to find

Martha sits by the telephone

Hoping someone will call

She's on her own again

She has so much that she can talk about

And there'll be gossip she can hawk about again
