A song of the sea
keeping up the maritime theme...
a folky, nautical number with guitar and mandolin
words and music by Martin Stirrup 2016
(3/4)
A E
Saffron she sails cross the water, Saffron she glides cross the sea
A D A E7 A
And if I decided that I ought to love her, you know she’d be waiting for me
E D A
Some people go with the trade winds
E D
Some set their sights on a star
A E G D
But I’m feeling warm in the eye of the storm
E
Watching it all from afar
Some people roll with the currents
Some just get pushed by the waves
But I found my calling where mercury’s falling
Does that mean I’m foolish or brave
Some people head for the sunshine
Some people run for the hills
But what does it matter if mainsails should tatter
Soaked to the skin with the thrills
But should I ever return home
If disaster or age take their toll
Heaving to starboard for her sheltered harbor
To rest up my wandering soul
Saffron she sails cross the water, Saffron my thoughts are a blur
For now I’ve decided that I ought to love her, you know I’ll be coming for her
