Judy Collins Song for Martin song lyrics

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
