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...

Lyrics

CHG 09 Water on the Horizon 

intro: DGA Dx2

 D D(C)G6  DD  EmC  D
 D D(C)G6  DD  EmC  DAA

There's water on the horizon
See it glistening in the sun
However it goes gonna splash my toes
Before the day is done
There's water on the horizon
I feel it in my bones
Before I sleep I'll be drinking deep
Lying on the stones

There's water on the horizon
Though the sun it cracks my skin
If I stick it out without a doubt
I'll soon be wading in
There's water on the horizon
Though I need to slake my thirst
I'll whistle a tune but if I  don't get there soon
I'll start to fear the worst

 D D(C)G  DD  D(C)G  Gm  BmBmDD

There's water on the horizon
It's been there all the day
But what is surprising
Is it keeps getting further away 

Is there water still on the horizon?
'fraid my vision's getting blurred
I'm feeling weak and unsteady on my feet
And words are coming slurred
Is there water still on the horizon?
There's a pounding in my head
I fear I'll swoon if it don't come soon
And then I'll end up dead
