My Name Is Martha by Michael Cohen Songbook from Pergola Italy

my name is martha is from my first musical “moon fever”.

i know my name, i know it well martha, martha
time and again i have to tell them my name’s martha
i have so little self esteem i could just disappear
and even if i tried to scream my name out i’m
sure no one would even hear

a simple name, not too refined martha, martha
but to my shame i must remind them my name’s martha
it’s more than metaphysical, this emptiness inside
i feel almost invisible
but still always have a need to run and hide

when i rocked in the cradle everyone knew my name
if they’re all now unable to remember it who is to blame?

two simple sounds, i’ll say them clear martha, martha
it still astounds me they can’t hear that my name’s martha
so when they can’t re my name i shouldn’t get upset
forgive me if i do profane
but it seems like sometimes god just might forget

my name’s martha my name’s martha my name’s martha
