Take a walk down Memory Lane with me
Past a watermelon stand on the way
Thinking I had everything we’d need
On Martha’s Foolish Ginger
You were late
How could I forget
What you said, the part about that
Love taking over your life
Was not in your plan
If those harbour lights had just been a half a mile inland
Who knows what I would have done
If those harbour lights had just been a half a mile inland
Who knows what I would have done
Through the cliffs
Out of the Bay I went
From the starboard side
I could block my visions and my passions
They keep me awake
If those harbour lights had just been a half a mile inland
Who knows what I would have done
If those harbour lights had just been a half a mile inland
Who knows what I would have done
A familiar voice
“Hi, surprise
I’ve been searching trying to find you”
I couldn’t speak
My hands reached for Martha’s Foolish Ginger
We talked until the moon came up
About how life without love
Isn’t worth very much
Then I played this song
If those harbour lights had just been a half a mile inland
Who knows what I would have done
If those harbour lights had just been a half a mile inland
Who knows what I would have done
What I would have done
“Memories that we have yet” you said
“To make like our Burning Bed”
Love, don’t mistake that it wasn’t safe
On Martha’s Foolish Ginger¯
