folk sad melancholy lost love
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...

A ballad for lost love...
Lyrics
A ballad for lost love... Mostly acoustic but with a mournful electric guitar solo in the instrumental section... and a key change. words and music by Martin Stirrup 2018 ROR 18 Casual Disclosure (a) Thinking back now, all in all |D |F#m |D |A | What could I do what else could I say |D |F# |G |A | When you know you’re heading for a fall You see your dreams just slipping away I was hopeless, running wild You were cool as ice – I was Just another helpless child Learning to pay the price (b) But when I should have told you |F#m |G |F#m |G | the words just came out wrong |F#m |G |Bm |A | And though I still want to hold you All I’m left with is this song chorus Just a casual disclosure |F#m |G |F#m |D run | Just a chance as the blue turns to grey |C |G |Bm |A |..A To findthat nothing had meaning, nothing remains You were focused and you were so clear I was floundering, all at sea All was just as it appeared … To everyone but me (b) You said that you believed me When I said that I’d been true So how could you deceive me When I’d risked it all on you Chorus Bridge I wish I understood the things that tore our love apart |F#m |Bm |G |D | Now all I have’s that clichéd sound, |F#m |Bm |G |A | the breaking of my heart. Instrumental chorus up a tone |G#m |A |G#m |C#m | |D |A |C#m |B | Chorus twice and end.. |G#m |A |G#m |E run | |D |A |C#m |B |..E
