Home (Retrospective Sessions)

All I ever wanted was to settle down and marry
Laugh and love and hopefully have a child
Have our families surround us
Friendships that never die-
Well we can try, we can try, we can try
Oh we can try, we can try- we can try!
There are times in life so good-
That looked me in the eye…
But I was busy
… So it passed me by
But!
Today I got a ticket
For a long journey, Home
To you and I
Oh Home, to you and I
I’m not good for you right now-
I’m good for you forever
There’s so much to you makes m turn the page
My blind dedication, is no surpris
I was right, that very first day:)
… When you rolled into the kitchen
With a basket bearing chicken
And a look of mischief pouring from your eyes
Over drinks and songs and ‘Dad' jokes
I kept touching your hand for your attention
And I kissed you in my mind
The sun was rolling upwards…
And you were going home
My head stayed drunk on your for such a long time
So I moved to this country, where you reside
So we can try, we can try, we can try!
Oh we can try, we can try, we can try
Dear Mother God in Heaven
You’re on hell of a woman!
I’ll believe that it’s for something till I die
If you put 2 & 2 together
And forget about that maths
And give us 3
Or 4
…or 5
Well we can try, we can try, we can try!
