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
La Tonta Jengibre de Martha
Da un paseo por el carril de los recuerdos conmigo
Pasando por un puesto de sandías en el camino
Pensando que tenía todo lo que necesitábamos
en La Tonta Jengibre de Martha
Llegaste tarde
¿Cómo podría olvidar lo que dijiste-
la parte sobre eso
'El amor tomando el control de tu vida'
no era tu plan
Si esas luces del puerto hubieran estado a solo media milla tierra adentro
quién sabe qué habría hecho
Si esas luces del puerto hubieran estado a solo media milla tierra adentro
quién sabe qué habría hecho
A través de los acantilados
salí de la bahía
Desde el lado de estribor
podía oscurecer mis visiones y mis pasiones-
me mantienen despierto
Si esas luces del puerto hubieran estado a solo media milla tierra adentro
quién sabe qué habría hecho
Si esas luces del puerto hubieran estado a solo media milla tierra adentro
quién sabe qué habría hecho
Una voz familiar
'Hola. Sorpresa.
He estado buscando tratando de encontrarte'
No podía hablar
mis manos buscaron La Tonta Jengibre de Martha
Hablamos hasta que salió la luna
Sobre cómo la vida sin amor
no vale mucho
Luego puse esta canción
Si esas luces del puerto hubieran estado a solo media milla tierra adentro
quién sabe qué habría hecho
Si esas luces del puerto hubieran estado a solo media milla tierra adentro
quién sabe qué habría hecho
qué habría hecho
qué habría hecho
'Recuerdos que aún tenemos que hacer' dijiste
'Como nuestra Cama Ardiente...'
Amor, no te equivoques que no era seguro
