martin stirrup

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

So what’s this all about? A bust up during a Cambridge ball? It’s origins are lost in the mist of time. Not one I played in public as it doesn’t really work for solo guitar  but it’s very openness made it fun to arrange for other instruments

Lyrics

Breathlessly blowing the air from her sighs
She watches the clouds in the every grey skies
Cast shadows of vapour over the rise of the sun

And running for shelter of silver baked eaves
She crashes through acres of spider-spun weaves
And throwing her head back the rain she perceives has begun

All is quiet for a while the wind blows away
All the cries of those that still play
And the sun looks on

And she sees through the dripping veil of the trees
that its not so easy to please 
as she’s once supposed

On her own just a memory on a stone
Should she really try to atone 
for the scene she’s made

Growing calm cuts the angry ties of alarm
Has it really done any harm
And the feeling’s no
