Artist/Band: Judy Collins
Lyrics for Song: Song For Martin
Lyrics for Album: True Stories & Other Dreams [1990]



In Rough Rock, Arizona he lived for many years alone

A gangly kid from Colorada, 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 livin' in the sun

My life was movin' 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 cryin' 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 cryin' 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
