Home (Retrospective Sessions) - Wallis Bird

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!
