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.
