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

The second song in my songbook and amazingly one with a singalong chorus in traditional folk style Quite a simple song so I scored a fiddle part to perk it up a bit.

Lyrics

Walking down the road with all my dreams 
Thinking of all the things that I have seen 
And about the way things might have been
Looking back again to you
Strolling down the road along my way
Contemplating still on yesterday
And on all the things I hoped you’d say
Looking back again to you

But it’s all over now I realize
Should have guessed when I looked in your eyes
But it’s easy now to be wise when I’m
Looking back again to you

Yu said you loved me and like a fool
I believed you so I played it cool
Then you left me and broke all my rules
Still I’m thinking back to you
You had deceived me and for a time
I couldn’t see any reason or rhyme
The way you treated me was such a crime
Still I’m thinking back to you

But it’s all over now I realize
Should have guessed when I looked in your eyes
But it’s easy now to be wise when I’m
Looking back again to you

Now I realize that you were not to blame
You were just playing a different game
I guess there’s many more that play the same
Maybe in time I’ll forget you
So I’ll go off and I’ll shop around
Find another girl another town
Make sure that this one doesn’t drag me down
And then in time I’ll forget you

But it’s all over now I realize
Should have guessed when I looked in your eyes
But it’s easy now to be wise when I’m
Looking back again to you
