Martha Lyrics

Possibly the saddest song ever written. Difficult to even hear it without crying...

Takes me back to the guy I fell for because (back then) he also loved Tom Waits. We listened to this song a lot, and I always suspected that we would somehow NOT end up together, and that someday I would hear "Martha" and think of calling him.

I was right.
