Martha she calls to me from a feather in the meadow, fly to me
You can dance and sing and walk with me,
and dreams will fade and shadows grow (??, something that
rhymes with 'me')

{section: Verse 3}
My love she talks to waking windows as she murmurs to her feet,
thoughtfully
She separates in laughter to her side, caught for me
She does as she pleases, she waits there for me
She does as she pleases, her heels rise for me
{section: Verse 4}
Martha she keeps her heart in a broken clock, and it's waiting
there for me
She weaves apart through a token lock, what a great thing to be free
There she'll be
There she'll be
(no accompaniment)
In green sun
On blue earth
Under warm running shower
Does anyone know the words to that last line of the second verse?
I would appreciate feedback.

{Am / / / Bm/A / / /}

{section: Verse 1}
(fingerpicked)

 [Am]              [Bm/A]
M[Am]artha she listens for the ticking of my footsteps,
[Bm/A]     patient[Am]ly  [Bm/A]

 [Am]              [Bm/A]
S[Am]he sifts the hairy air that's warm and woodswept,
[Bm/A]     pleasant[Am]ly  [Bm/A]

[Bb]She does as she [Ab]pleases, she [C]listens [Bb]for [Am]me       [Bm/A]

{section: Verse 2}
Martha she calls to me from a feather in the meadow, fly to me
You can dance and sing and walk with me,
and dreams will fade and shadows grow (??, something that
                                       rhymes with 'me')

 [Bb]               [Ab]            [F]      [Eb]
 [Bb]
 [Eb]
S[Ab]he does as she pleases, she waits there for me
[Bb]She does as she [Ab]pleases, her [C]heels [Bb]rise for [Am]me       [Bm/A]

(guitar solo over {Am / / / Bm/A / / /} repeated)

{section: Verse 3}
My love she talks to waking windows as she murmurs to her feet,
                                                        thoughtfully
She separates in laughter to her side, caught for me

She does as she pleases, she waits there for me
She does as she pleases, her heels rise for me

{section: Verse 4}
Martha she keeps her heart in a broken clock, and it's waiting
                                                        there for me
She weaves apart through a token lock, what a great thing to be free

S[Am]he weeps, tired and starts unspoken, but when the gate swings,
There she'll be
There she'll be

(no accompaniment)
In green sun
On blue earth
Under warm running shower
