I Wish I Could Go Travelling again - Stacey Kent

I wish I could go travelling again

It feels like this summer will never end

And I've had such good offers from several of my friends

I wish I could go travelling again

I want to sit in my shades sipping my latte

Beneath the awning of a famous cafe

Jet-lagged and with our luggage gone astray

I wish I could go travelling again

I want a waiter to give us a reprimand

In a language neither of us understand

While we argue about the customs of the land

I wish I could go travelling again

I want to sit in traffic anxious about our plane

While your blasé comments drive me half insane

I want to dash for shelter with you through the tropical rain

I wish I could go travelling again

I want to be awakened by a faulty fire alarm

In an overpriced hotel devoid of charm

Then fall asleep again back in your arms

I wish I could go travelling again

But how can I ever go travelling again?

When I know I'll just keep remembering again

When I know I'll just be gathering again

Reminders to break my heart

I wish I could go travelling again

It feels like this summer will never end

And I've had such good offers from several of my friends

I wish I could go travelling again
