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...

Story behind the song
This started off as an acoustic guitar piece but developed its 'poppish' credentials with the bass and lead, especially in the chorus.
Lyrics
C hammer F C2 C Isn’t it strange the way things go C hammer F C2 C Wanting to change is all you know C hammer F C2 C C hammer G But fear of danger letting go is holding you back Thinking through possibilities Fearing the loss of liberty All that once was is flowing free, changing your track Am G Em F Am G Em But you know I love you, beyond my control Am G Em F G G7 And if you go I’ll follow, however the dice may roll Keeping a track of passing days Never look back for all they say Slipping through cracks is not your way this time Holding your head above the fray Weaving the thread another way Breaking new bread no need to stay in line Repeat chorus Dm G C Dm C I’ve got a strong heart, it will not break Dm G C G G7 But don’t play the wrong part, if just for your own sake Looking to see it all pull through Hoping to be the one for you Like a tall tree I’m growing true in love Certain of it all, our day will come When you call you know I’ll run Even if you fall I’ll lift you up to the sun above. featuring Steve Franks on lead guitar
