Текст песни: House By the Sea + перевод

Martha paints, paints, paints

Sitting all alone, in her little house by the sea

And every moment passing brings him closer still

And soon he’ll be coming home.

Martha sews, sews, sews

Makes a little quilt, in her little house by the sea

And every door that’s creaking brings a little smile

That soon he’ll be coming home.

Martha prays, prays, prays

By her dainty crib, in her little house by the sea

Cos every word of the letter makes it plain and clear

He won’t be coming home no more.

Martha dusts, dusts, dusts

Cleans up every inch of her little house by the sea

Cos when they bring the body, it will be like a king

Laying on a golden bed.

Martha waits, waits, waits

Counting up the stars above her little house by the sea

And every distant twinkle, like his gentle hand

Wipes away her silent tears.

Martha’s grey now

Sitting all alone in her little house by the sea

And every moment passing brings her closer still

To the one she loves the most

Martha’s gone now…
