TRY AGAIN

from SHADOWLANDS by Jack Howard

about

This was going to be an instrumental before Gerard Assi added guitar. It became clear it needed some words, so I scoured my notebooks and came up with Try Again, a traditional tale of getting back in to the ring of love when all of your friends thought you'd been knocked down for the count.

lyrics

A simple plan is always best
Set yourself a goal that you can manage
Take your time and look around
Check you horoscope and then consider

Trust is for fools
Kindness for the weak
Love is blind,
it's just a habit you can't break
So you try and try again
You don't know when to say when
and you give it your best shot

You feel like Charlie Brown
As he lines up for the big kick-off
As you sail into the air
The crowd applauds. They love a ritual

Trust is for fools
Kindness for the weak
Love is blind,
it's just a habit you can't break
So you try and try again
You don't know when to say when
and you give it your best shot
Go, you good thing, go
