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

keeping up the maritime theme...

Lyrics

A E 
 Saffron she sails cross the water, Saffron she glides cross the sea
 A D A E7 A
 And if I decided that I ought to love her, you know she’d be waiting for me

E D A
 Some people go with the trade winds
 E D
 Some set their sights on a star
 A E G D
 But I’m feeling warm in the eye of the storm
 E
 Watching it all from afar


Some people roll with the currents
 Some just get pushed by the waves
 But I found my calling where mercury’s falling
 Does that mean I’m foolish or brave

Some people head for the sunshine
 Some people run for the hills
 But what does it matter if mainsails should tatter
 Soaked to the skin with the thrills

But should I ever return home
 If disaster or age take their toll
 Heaving to starboard for her sheltered harbor
 To rest up my wandering soul

Saffron she sails cross the water, Saffron my thoughts are a blur

For now I’ve decided that I ought to love her, you know I’ll be coming for her
