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 1/2 a mile inland
who knows what I would have done
If those harbour lights had just been a 1/2 a mile inland
who knows what we 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

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

�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.



"I've got one song I've just finished which only had a title - Martha's Foolish Ginger - and a chorus: If those harbour lights had just been half a mile inland who knows what I would have done. I've actually been working on this song for eight years but couldn't figure out how to finish it. Then I suddenly realised the title was the name of her boat. And with that it was liberated, unlocked and everything came clear."
