This song jumped out at me when I first heard it, the way her voice just rises up on that "what I would have done", gives me goosebumps.
Anyway, I went on a hunt on what this song could possibly mean, and it was so obvious when I found out:
"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."
