A bluesy folk song
folk blues moody
Artist picture
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
Wriitten in the rain up on the China/Vietnam border - hence the water buffalo - but aimed more at life in general!
Lyrics
AE 08 Waiting for good news It's raining in the mountains Am G EmAm EmCD there's mist upon the hills It's spreading down the valleysAm G EmAm EmCD And giving me the chills It's greying out the colour And draining out the light Sucking the vitality From everything in sight The roads are getting slippy The roads are getting slick It's getting rather trippy On this twisting rolling trip Someone said this weather'sCGCEm DD Coming roaring from Japan Riding on a typhoon's tail I don't know where I am Waiting for good newsD EmDEmD AmAm I need some good news Had enough of the rain I've had enough of bad news EmDEmD AmCD Sick of sad news Ain't it time for sunshine to Burst out through the clouds again There's a heard of water buffalo Wallowing in the mud I've heard there's nothing like it For cooling off the blood Sitting here just hoping for the Sunshine after rain Need a little heat to start Cooling off my brain. The weather's in a pickle But the world is in a mess I guess I need a tickle To get me through this stress I want a better future I want my time to come I want to have my time Just sitting in the sun ?
