	Lyrics Martha, you've got the words, They float at me across the room. Martha, this poetry of yours is touching my heart. Though you and I, just met each other several hundred words ago. I think I've always known you, and those words feel like the years they've been apart. Martha, you've got those eyes. And they watch me from across the room. And we're strangers, but something's happening, can't you see? Are you laughing, are you listening to the words that I'm not saying. Cause all your cryptic language, all your crazy rhymes all make sense to me. Wake up, wake up Johnny boy. You've just been dreaming. I've had dreams before, this one's worse. Am I alone now, out here on the street, Or am I there with you, in that other universe. Martha, walk with me a moment, if only in my mind. Let's wander down the unexplored paths of our lives. Tread softly and slowly in this world of silent beauty. And I will find a flower to match the shade of violet in your eyes. She doesn't see me, she doesn't hear me. This imagination haunts me like a curse. Am I alone now, out here on the street, Or am I there with you, In that other universe. Martha...
