spend my life with you
All very C&W – but the sunrise was actually on the Serengetti… guitars/vocals ‘live’; the pedal steel is a heavily abused sample but the fiddles were carefully scored on Cubase
words and music by Martin Stirrup 2006
D G D
There’s a chill to the morning but the sun on the horizon’s burning red
D G A
It’s giving me a warning of the churning thoughts that bubble up and run a round my head
G D
Though I’ve never said a word, don’t even know your name
G D Em Bm A
You’re gonna walk beside me when I do
D G D
For though I’ve not confided I’ve decided that I’m gonna spend my life with you
People think I’m lazy acting crazy just another ne’er do well
But I know for certain that I’m gonna raise the curtain move on up and break that spell
And when I am successful and I’ve nothing more to prove
I’ll tell the world I owe it all to you
For though I’ve not confided I’ve decided that I’m gonna spend my life with you
Now you might doubt my sanity or simply call it vanity of thought
But this air of confusion’s just illusion I’ve a certainty that reason can’t distort
And though I’ve never been afraid to rail against my fate
This one’s for me I’m gonna see it through
For though I’ve not confided I’ve decided that I’m gonna spend my life with you
