--------

in the night time locks are loosened, bows untied
i shake off my shoes in a travelling way
a day of service done, a closing to the day
i find a blushing message in my mail
and read it as the light begins to fail
a flicker on the screen sets your name dancing
it's a pinch of electricity that answered

tonight i'll regale other men
with tales that i'll be seeing you again
tonight

i went outside and walked away
i walked onto the road
i took a look at the black ground
from it came this old dreaming house
you helped me line the stones
that mark out this straight walking way
and i hooked up a curtain
to sing behind, to work behind
to fall beneath the night behind
and fling back on a sunday

tonight i'll regale other men
with tales that i'll be seeing you again
tonight

i read it in a book
americans could fix it
so that they could float a boat
down heavy rivers and control it

Martin is the bomb. Everyone knows this

[robinspider]

our house is made of quarrystone and mortar rich as muck, brave blockstones brought from Mayo in a truck.

Beautiful lyrics all the way through but that line is as good as anything I've heard.

Great song Martin.

[lizzyvance]

He is very good song writer.

Cheers dawg!

@boosh90, not sure if you will get Untended Stories in shops but pop over to his website and send him a quick email. Make Daylight is up on ichoons!

@autosurgeon

It seems to feature D (with fiddly bits and augmentation) and a D/Bm-type chord, like 'Mr. Tambourine Man'.

The chorus seems to be D, D/C#m, D/Bm, D, D/Bm, G, Em, F/Em, D.

I'm probably well off but that's how it sounded anyway.

I need to get the album.

For various reasons.

Though mainly cos he's great.

[clearskies]

It's dropped D tuning. Mess around and you'll get the jist. Fairly easy to play

[autosurgeon]

anybody got the tab for it?
