Martha

Martha it's your brother calling
Time to go up North and see mother
things are harder for her now
and neither of us is really there much older than each other
anymore

Martha it's your brother calling
have you had a chance to see father?
Wondering how he's doing and
there's no much time for us to really be that angry at each other
anymore.

it's your brother calling, Martha
it's your brother calling, Martha
please

call me back

i know how it goes
you gotta ring your little finger
Hit the trees and see what falls
And make the sun come out on Sunday afternoon

All the while you heat the plates
and serve a little wine
and wear a hat and make 'em laugh
And forget that there is nobody in the room
anymore

It's your brother calling, Martha
It's your brother calling, Martha
Please call me back.
