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.

A song extoling the pleasures of the late afternoon... maybe just a tad allegorical too...
Lyrics
Everyone loves a glorious sunsetA ED The final throw of the sun's domainE GD Sit down and wait for that perfect momentA ED Capture a note from the last refrainE A D Over and done with in an instantBmA Time to leave till the world spins againC GEm DD Everyone loves the midday sunshineED Warmth that will stretch for hours aheadEA D No need for haste or careful planning Time in abundance fills your head Sweet soporific inactivity On daydreaming paths your thoughts are led. But I prefer the hours beforeF C The hour before the end of dayG Am The subtler light conveys much moreF C And leads you to activityEm Am And all your worries come to noughtF C As creativity flowersG Am You find the peace to stir your thoughtsF C In those penultimate hours E E7 Why waste your time lamenting All the time you wasted in your youth Or pondering on your final ending Jump on in don't stand aloof There's time enough if you embrace life That's the test and final truth
