I Wish I Could Go Travelling Again - Stacey Kent, Art Hirahara

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 gathering again

Reminders to break my heart?

I wish 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 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
