Artist picture
Singer-songwriter, arranger and producer: acoustic contemporary folk but ranging into rock/blues/country/jazz/humour...all very eclectic, I'm afraid!
Martin Stirrup Singer/songwriter An old folkie who got back into it... These days I sing and play guitar(s) and other stringed instruments, then score and orchestrate where appropriate. My taste becomes increasingly eclectic ranging from finger-picked folk through country to soft rock mixed in with a few more alternative and eccentric numbers, including the odd novelty foxtrot...

Story behind the song
This is a straightforward enough finger-picked folksy/bluesy number so I kept the production simple. I sent it off to Keith Sidwell in Calgary and he added a just-right lead line on his Gretsch Country Gentleman.
Lyrics
C Ab C C7 My sweet delight, move over here a little closer to me F Fm C A7 Stand in the light, you’re so pretty now, I just got to see D7 G C G+ Maybe tonight, you’ll be all I hope you will be My sweet delight, rest your head here, close up to mine Feels so right, …. you know it feels quite sublime Feels like you might want to take things a little further this time (hold on C not G+ into chorus) F Bb F C C7 I’ve been waiting, waiting for so long F Bb F C C7 Now that I’ve found you surely nothing can go wrong F Bb F C C7 You see me here without a care F Bb F G G+ You’re the answer to this poor boy’s prayer My sweet delight, why don’t you lay yourself down on the floor It’s alright, for you know its you, only you I adore It’s surely no slight, if I should want just a little bit more (you know what I’m talking about)
