Lyrics of Martha¹s 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 the
Love taking over your life was
Not 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, high 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
