The final curtain
A boy band pop song that I wrote in my sleep (after going back to sleep after writing down 'Walking in the Park')... as I've said before in You've Got a Song
'And though I’m not quite sure how things work in my brain
All this stuff pours out of it again and again'
words and music by Martin Stirrup 2018
The final curtain
Verse 1:
E
Reality
A B7 E
Is the key to my door that you gave back to me
A B7 E
You were clear on that score no uncertainty
B7
You want to set me free
Without a doubt
You just shot it from the hip, that’s what it’s all about
But don’t think that for a moment I am down and out
‘Cos you’ll hear me shout
chorus
E B7
If you ever feel you need someone to hold you
F#m E
Just give a call and I’ll be there because I told you
It doesn’t matter for one night or for forever
Deep down I know you know I right and I’ll endeavor
A G#m
To give you comfort and the love I feel you’re needing
F#m E
Though just right now I feel my chances are receding
There’ll be a time you’ll need me that I know for certain
There’s one more act before we draw the final curtain
Verse 2:
So where from here?
Do you expect me to just walk away – just disappear
But you know that I’ll not break down or shed a tear
Never fear
All in all
Did you set me up just to make me take a fall?
But you don’t know what I’m like when my back’s against the wall
I’ll be standing tall
Chorus then chorus in F#
Plus interweave:
Call on me
I’ll be free
To walk with you
Help you through
Times of pain
I’ll remain
Strong and true
Here for you
