An acoustic story ballad it sounds a bit like it should be from a musical?

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

This is another one that starte with a literal statement – the rain stopped and the mist lifted as we sat and ate on the edge of Lake Baikal in Siberia.

Lyrics

HBD 13 Mist on the Lake

..A A4|D        |G A7 A4| D           |G   A7 |         
|Bm| A        Bm| D   Dmaj7 D  |A         AA4|   
  | D        |G A7 A4| D           |G   A7 |

Two  a part – still can come together
Taking heart – though still wondering whether
They should give another try
Or kiss the past goodbye
Weigh the pros and cons
Just believe – easy to say but oh so
Easy to deceive – and lose your way
In some complicated dance
Symbiotic trance
Churns the world along

        ..G|F#m       D    |G A7| Bm        |G   A7 |         
|F#m    D| G       Bm| C       |A7|G|
|D|D  A A4|

Mist rises from the lake 
Softens up the outline of the harbour ‘cross the bay
Now the rain is easing there’s a beauty to the day
Gold beneath the grey
Says all there is to say
As mist rises from the lake


Gentle touch – may be all it takes
Not too soft but not too much – before the magic breaks
A little sensitivity
May be no guarantee
but easy to believe
Let’s agree- maybe a time
For some positivity – partners in crime
Hardly in our infancy
Fearless and free
Hopeful to succeed
