martha - hue and cry lyrics

[verse 1]
operator, number please, it’s been so many years
will she remember my old voice while i fight the tears?
h*llo, h*llo there, is this martha? this is old tom frost
and i am calling long distance, don’t worry about the cost
’cause it’s been forty years or more, now martha please recall
meet me out for coffee where we’ll talk about it all

[chorus]
and those were the days of roses, of poetry and prose
and martha all i had was you and all you had was me
there was no tomorrows, we packed away our sorrows
and we saved them for a rainy day

[verse 2]
and i feel so much older now, you’re much older, too
how’s your husband? and how’s your kids? you know that i got married too
lucky that you found someone to make you feel secure
’cause we were all so young and foolish, now we are mature

[chorus]
and those were the days of roses, of poetry and prose
and martha, all i had was you and all you had was me
there was no tomorrow, we packed away our sorrows
and we saved ’em for a rainy day
[verse 3]
and i was always so impulsive, i guess that i still am
and all that really mattered then was that i was a man
i guess that our being together was never meant to be
but martha, martha, i love you, can’t you see?

[chorus]
and those were the days of roses, of poetry and prose
and martha all i had was you and all you had was me
there was no tomorrows, we packed away our sorrows
and we saved ’em for a rainy day

[outro]
and i remember quiet evenings trembling close to you
