Martha’s Foolish Ginger is the name of the narrator’s boat in this song. It’s essentially a tune about how if one circumstance in life had been different, the present may be completely changed.
[Verse 1]
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
[Chorus]
If those harbor lights had just been a half a mile inland
Who knows what I would have done
If those harbor lights had just been a half a mile inland
Who knows what I would have done
[Verse 2]
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
[Chorus]
If those harbor lights had just been a half a mile inland
Who knows what I would have done
If those harbor lights had just been a half a mile inland
Who knows what I would have done
[Bridge]
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
[Chorus]
If those harbor lights had just been a half a mile inland
Who knows what I would have done
If those harbor lights had just been a half a mile inland
Who knows what I would have done
[Post-Chorus]
What I would have done
What I would have done
[Outro]
"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
