a folky lament in 6/8
fatigue weariness
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
AFS 09 Pitch and Yaw 6/8 C FG G7C FG G7 F CG F CG It’s cutting up rough and the seabirds are winging it I’m aching for love and I hope you’ll be bringing it I’m tired of the pitch and the yaw Can’t wait to get back to the shore I’m feeling at sea and I’m needing protection Wrapped in your arms is the place of perfection Where you know I’m longing to be I’ve spent far too long out at sea EmAmEmAm F CG G7 The ocean’s a graveyard the ocean’s a womb A watery birth or a watery tomb Holds you forever expels you too soon. I’m all for the smooth and fed up with the rough of it I’m tired of pretence and had it with bluffing it I’m past all that life on the swell I’m thinking maybe you can tell I’m tired of events in the depths, in the thick of it Smile in defense as I’m silently bricking it I’m tired of the pitch and the yaw Can’t wait to get back to the shore
