another acoustic pop ballad?
love loss yearning
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...

Story behind the song
another song of lost love - I'm not quite sure where these songs come from given my history
Lyrics
Back in your High Esteem The air is getting hot and Cares have been forgotten What shall i do with my day. Shall i go swimming Or chasing after women Or is it just too hot to play Time to make a case for Just staring into space or Laying back to dream But then my thoughts are turning And all too soon I'm yearning To be back in your high esteem To be back in your high esteem Time and again I find That you're still on my mind While I'm sitting here all alone You see its still a thing so Perhaps I ought ring and Get your number on the telephone And once again implore As so many times before That I need you back with me But id bet my bottom dollar That then I hear you hollar It's over now can't you see It's over now can't you see I long to be at peace you see Content with my own company Why can't I be fancy free Nothings gonna change until you're back here with me So now my eyes are blinking As I am slowing sinking Down into fitful sleep My thoughts they keep on churning In dreams your love I'm earning Then I wake and it makes me weep What hope I have is failing Against the fates I'm railing All to no avail I know what your thinking My futures long been sinking What chance now to prevail What chance now to prevail Played capot 5 so Actual chords BmF#mE D BmF#mE GG DDAADDBmF#mE GDCGCDF#m EG D AGG AmDAm DAm AmDF#m EGG Chord shapes at capot 5 F#mC#mB A F#mC#mB DD AADDADF#mC#mB DAGDGAC#mBD A EDD EmAEm AEm
