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.
