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
I think the words came first on this, but their rhythm drove the guitar-part structure. I scored the strings using Sibelius, as usual.
Lyrics
ROR 03 At My Door verse: B A E All we play is catch me if you can C#m G#m F#m E Is there something I have missed, that I don’t understand? B AE Aren’t we getting old for playground ways C#m G#m F#m A - B Ain’t it time we were moving on to another phase So now I’m gonna take a leaf out of your book I declare that we’ll get there by hook or crook I can play the waiting game you see I’ll put my faith in inevitability Chorus C B E E2/4 Eb E F#m7b5 I think I see the game you play but I’m not sure of the rules C#m G# A E Eº B7 So it’s eyes down as we circle round like a pair of lovestruck fools C B E E2/4 Eb E F#m7b5 Feels like stage fright but I think I know the score C#m G# A E Eº Am6 E And you know that I’ll be ready when you come knocking at my door I know you’re playing turn and turn again All I see’s the certainty of sunshine after rain I feel as if my fortune’s on the rise I’m sincere the future’s clear when I look in your eyes ?
