Tori Amos - Martha's Foolish Ginger lyrics

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 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

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 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

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 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

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
