Judy Collins - Song For Martin [Intro} [Verse 1] In Red Rock Arizona he lived for many years alone A gangly kid from Colorado 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 [Verse 2] 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 [Chorus] 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 [Verse 3] 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 [Verse 4] 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 [Chorus] 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

Cette chanson évoque la solitude d'un homme, qui, après avoir vécu longtemps à Red Rock en Arizona, a perdu son chemin. Elle rappelle une amitié perdue entre deux personnes dont les trajectoires se sont croisées, mais qui ne se sont pas vraiment rapprochées. Le chanteur se souvient des moments passés ensemble, des conversations sporadiques au téléphone, et ressent une profonde tristesse face à la douleur de son ami, signalée par des cris de coyotes dans la nuit. Le contexte montre une réflexion sur la vie, les choix que l'on fait, et les regrets qui en découlent. La douleur du protagoniste est accentuée par l'écho des souvenirs et une tragédie qui semble survenir après une longue lutte contre la solitude dans un monde parfois hostile. C'est une méditation sur l'amitié, la perte et la difficulté de toucher ceux qui souffrent vraiment.
