Lyrics of 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 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 black 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
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.
