He looks at you
\nFrom out of his great flowing pools of blue
\nThe most profound of looks,
\nthis man,
\nis through and through
\nSensitively uses breath
\nAnd zest for life, for he
\nDoes stuff with his clarinet
\nThat seldom one will see
\nOr hear, for Martin\u2019s the master
\nHis music good and clear
\nBut migraine kind of threatened him a bit
\nAnd it brought him neat
\nTo stopping
\nTill old Jan De Fries
\nSaid to him one day
\nAmalgum fillings say goodbye
\nAnd he was on his way
\nHe had always watched his diet
\nOrganic was his thing
\nHe sensitivity notice the knowledge
\nWhich did bring
\nHis migraines to subdue a bit
\nAnd days of sunshine reigned
\nHe then decided the guitar
\nWas something where he gained
\nMore credence and more pleasure
\nMartin Taylor, one
\nWho influenced his blues routines
\nThey help him find the sun
\nMartin born in Ayrshire
\nHad held his first guitar
\nWhen he was just an infant
\nSo no wonder, he\u2019s a star
\nWho played with yea Count Basie
\nGrappelli and some more
\nAnd is Martins inspiration
\nLike nobody before
\nWith his loving wife, both customers
\nOf the little Cooks Delight
\nWe know about his talents
\nThey flow forever bright
\nI noticed though you looked a little pale
\nAnd I just thought
\nYou may have been inside too much
\nAnd just might not have caught
\nThe daffodils a trumpeting
\nThe tulips Early chords
\nThe blue bells rhapsodic
\nSuch purposeful rewards
\nThe mid day sun advancing
\nWhen high up in the sky
\nIs enough to colour up the cheeks
\nAnd could be worth a try<\/p>\n
