Singing Again Lyrics

Going down to New Cross station, I got a ticket to go

Gonna find a town with a couple of pubs and no one I know

I'll stay quiet 'til I'm ready but really it could be a while till then

I roll a cigarette in the last bar, change the strings to the guitar

Try singing again

I want to go home but nowhere seems like home anymore

As I go back to Ilkley, or maybe a town I never been to before

I'm sorry Louise, you want me to try, I can't try it again

As I delete my socials, cut my hair, turn my back on my friends

Try singing again

Yeah, I wish I hadn't said it

Two blue ticks says you read it

Now I'm left here in the violence of your silence, and it grows

The mist of time, my thoughts entwine, a winding river flows

I saw my face reflected and it told me what I already know

That it is time to go

That it's time to try singing again

I'm a little exhausted, a little dried up, I've been sniffing around

And though it's hard to accept, I'm not young anymore and I need to slow down

With John in my ear, and you in my mind, I overextend

The hand that tries to reach you, the song I tried to teach you

That I'm singing again

Going down to New Cross Station, I got a ticket to go

I'm sorry Louise, you wanted an answer but I really don't know

I live by the sea now, it's Meggie and me now, I'm doing alright

And though I'm feeling my age, I'm back on the stage

Singing again
