folk melancholy insomnia sleepless
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...

a bit personal, this one... a cure for insomnia? Still part of the Age Old Story cycle...
Lyrics
AOS 12 Wake me in the night D2D9(Cbass) The early hours are peaceful silent and serene G B6 But if sleep won't come your thoughts return to how things might have been D2D9(Cbass) If you need reassurance everything will be alright G AD2 Just reach out and wake me in the night If the darkness clouds your thinking as you search back through the years Or panic stirs unbidden through a plethora of fears If you're losing your perspective on what's wrong and what is right Just reach out and Wake me in the night Bm A G D Wake me in the night with a murmur or a touch Bm A G A I will quickly show you how I love you oh so much Bm A G D Wake me in the night and your fears I'll soon allay Em A Hold you tightly in my arms until the break of day Life is rarely simple, actions can be strange Keeping your perspective isn't easy to arrange So if your mind's in turmoil and your fears are taking flight Just reach out and Wake me in the night ?
