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...

Lyrics
A E Saffron she sails cross the water, Saffron she glides cross the sea A D A E7 A And if I decided that I ought to love her, you know she’d be waiting for me E D A Some people go with the trade winds E D Some set their sights on a star A E G D But I’m feeling warm in the eye of the storm E Watching it all from afar Some people roll with the currents Some just get pushed by the waves But I found my calling where mercury’s falling Does that mean I’m foolish or brave Some people head for the sunshine Some people run for the hills But what does it matter if mainsails should tatter Soaked to the skin with the thrills But should I ever return home If disaster or age take their toll Heaving to starboard for her sheltered harbor To rest up my wandering soul Saffron she sails cross the water, Saffron my thoughts are a blur For now I’ve decided that I ought to love her, you know I’ll be coming for her
