A gentle ballad
love ballad
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
LKG 15 Wax and wane Fmaj7 (sus b5) x2 C xn intro Fmaj7 Cmaj7 (sus4) There's a golden light to the column side Em F There's a tang of salt in the air Fmaj7 Cmaj7 (sus4) Sunlight bleeds as the tide recedes Em G And the breeze whispers beware Fmaj7 Cmaj7 (sus4) Its a quiet scene somewhere in between Em F Full engagement and goodbye G Em C Am On the edge of time by the salty rime F G With the seagull's mournful cry Past the western seas the sun recedes Sinking slowly through the mist On the leeward shore will time restore The chance of being kissed I'll play free with sensitivity Hope my time's coming soon If I make a move will it prove A blessing or a boon Em G C You play a patient hand to try to understand your woman Em F What's she’s got to feel to take you to her bosom EmG C Sometimes it seems her actions are inhuman Dm F G Yet who'd not want to be found when her loveliness is blooming all around Then somehow cross the eastern bow The full moon starts arising Love like the moon can wax and wane Is that so surprising I'm on my feet I'll take the heat I need to take my chances Will she follow me guess I will see If to my tune she dances
