Easy to Fall
Another country/folk number with Steve Franks on backing Vocals
Also triggered by a visit to World’s End (see track 2) – this time on a metaphorical tack. Sigirya also gets a mention..
words and music by Martin Stirrup 2017
D A D
It’s a long way down and it’d be so easy to fall
A
So do you keep on climbing or cling there with your back to the wall
Bm D
There are times it’s hard to make that choice
Em Em2 Em
When the back ground noise gets louder than your inner voice
D A D
It’s a long way down and it’d be so easy to fall
Sometimes the view can make you go weak at the knees
Though you’re trying hard to live your life the way that you please
It’s easy to suffer from vertigo
When you feel like you’re flying with no safety net below
Sometimes the view can make you go weak at the knees
break
G (2-4) repeat
It’s all about balance , find that pivot point to make your stand
A (2-4) repeat
You want to fly but you need to keep control in your hand
D
Lack of caution may keep you slow
Em
But don’t let hubris bring you down so low
D A D
It’s a long way down and it’d be so easy to fall
When you’re making your way up be careful how you tread
Call it karma if you like, but what you do can come back on your head
If you mistreat people when you’re making hay
You might well regret it on a rougher day
When you’re making your way up be careful how you tread
Last time
D A Bm
It’s a long way down and it’d be so easy to fall
D A D
It’s a long way down and it’d be so easy to fall (hard stop)
