A bouncy folk/country song about thirst and mirages...
thirst disappointment drought mirage
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
CHG 09 Water on the Horizon intro: DGA Dx2 D D(C)G6 DD EmC D D D(C)G6 DD EmC DAA There's water on the horizon See it glistening in the sun However it goes gonna splash my toes Before the day is done There's water on the horizon I feel it in my bones Before I sleep I'll be drinking deep Lying on the stones There's water on the horizon Though the sun it cracks my skin If I stick it out without a doubt I'll soon be wading in There's water on the horizon Though I need to slake my thirst I'll whistle a tune but if I don't get there soon I'll start to fear the worst D D(C)G DD D(C)G Gm BmBmDD There's water on the horizon It's been there all the day But what is surprising Is it keeps getting further away Is there water still on the horizon? 'fraid my vision's getting blurred I'm feeling weak and unsteady on my feet And words are coming slurred Is there water still on the horizon? There's a pounding in my head I fear I'll swoon if it don't come soon And then I'll end up dead
