TRY, TRY AGAIN
She said, “Please don’t say another word,
unless it’s one I have not heard.” And,
on any other night, I might have put up
more of a fight. I thought I might see you
here again, and, I don’t know why, and, I
don’t know when. And, on any other day,
I might’ve had more to say than, “Try, try.
Mmm, try, try again. Try, try. Mmm, try, try
again. Try, try. Mmm, try, try again. Try, try.
Try again.” And, there’s that softness in
your touch. Your sweet caress, that says so
much. By any other name, oh, it wouldn’t
feel the same. And, “After now,” you say,
“what then? How would we see this in the
end?” ...or at any other time? Oh, just pick
one, down the line, and try, try. Mmm, try,
try again. Try, try. Mmm, try, try again. Try,
try. Mmm, try, try again. Try, try. Try again.
Well, if it were up to me, well, here’s what
I’d do, I’d try to find a way to make it up
to you, or any other way that would make
you wanna stay and not run and hide. But,
if you must, well, I would never give you
up, not for this or any other world. And
then said my girl, “Try, try. Mmm, try, try
again. Try, try. Mmm, try, try again. Try, try.
Mmm, try, try again. Try, try. Try again.”

“…singer-songwriter Bill Scorzari transcends titles like songwriter or poet. He catapults past categories into a dark
ruminative and ultimately life-affirming realm where folklore, memories, pain, prayer, and incantation meet.” - March/April 2020 issue, Acoustic Guitar Magazine
