A folky ballad
ballad change moving on
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
AA 11 All Is Change FG2EbBbGmG#6/9BbC4C x2 DmA7DmA7Bb6A11GmA BbCC White mist rising up the hillside spilling over to the sea. Thins and disappears as it falls In ghostly procession flowing silently Down across the dark volcanic walls The colonnade unchanging to our speedy senses Is nonetheless in progress at its geologic pace Basalt and obsidian Reach their own oblivion Chemically defenceless in the universe's race Your heart is filling with emotion bursting out as tears Trickling down your face and to the floor Spasm-racked your features are evoking all your fears As he turns and walks towards the door Cruelly complacent singularly vacant Nothing stirs the certainty he shows Closed off and rigid Emotionally frigid Certainty's the only way he knows AmGAmGDDAmAm AmGAmGFFE7E7 FFE7E7 Which now would you rather see Strength or vulnerability Nothing is as obvious as it seems Heart of steel or sad faced clown Opening up or closing down Turning sour or hoping for the cream End the story or live on to dream All things change, nothing’s forever. Where will it lead? Every step’s a step to the unknown Life’s an evolving endeavour, hoping to succeed Sometimes you have to stand alone When you think you’re heading to another dead-end Lift your head and take another path Nothing is immutable, the future is inscrutable Take what life throws at you with a laugh
