Martha's Foolish Ginger

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 harbor lights had just been a half a mile inland
Who knows what I would have done
If those harbor 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 black my
Visions and my passions, they keep me awake
If those harbor lights had just been a half a mile inland
Who knows what I would have done
If those harbor 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 harbor lights had just been a half a mile inland
Who knows what I would have done
If those harbor lights had just been a half a mile inland
Who knows what I would have done
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
