Song For Martin
(专辑: True Stories And Other Dreams - 1973)
In Rough Rock, Arizona he lived for many years alone A
gangly kid from Colorado, who could sing the
sweetest songs I
first heard Woody's songs from him in a
cabin in the
snow Seems like it was yesterday but it was years and years ago He moved to Arizona in nineteen sixty-one Got a
job at the
Indian school he was living in the
sun My life was moving fast by now, I
was always on the
run My country life was far behind and the
circus had begun Marty, I
know it got lonely out there Coyotes crying at midnight in the
cold desert air The
heart that sorrow broke in you can never be repaired Mart, I
know I
let you down somewhere I
knew that me and Marty, we should have been good friends I
always knew the
paths we walked were meant to cross again We talked on the
telephone once or twice a
year His voice was so familiar, his memory was clear I'll never know what brought him to where he finally stood A
shotgun pointed at his head in a
cabin in the
woods But somehow I
could hear it, it struck my heart as well For the
unknown man who needs a
hand For the
friend I'll never know Marty, I
know it got lonely out there Coyotes crying at midnight in the
cold desert air The
heart that sorrow broke in you can never be repaired Mart, I
know I
let you down somewhere
