From the recording Blossom Outside
Jangly guitar-driven love song to my wife, Juliet. For both of us, it is the "second time around".
Lyrics
Second Time Around
Oh, they say that in love and life
You only get one shot
But I found you in round two
Just goes to show
You make your own luck too
A single Dad
With a broken heart
After the fact
Tries again
Takes a deep breath
And plunges back in
The first time around, love was a journey into darkest hours
The second time around, I found myself singing out your name loud
Oh, they say love will find a way
If you wait patiently
Cupid’s dart will find your heart
Sometimes unexpectedly
A single Mum
With a broken faith
After the fall
Dusts herself off
Puts her brave face on
An climbs back up
The first time around, love was a journey into darkest hours
The second time around, I found myself singing out your name loud
Oh, the mystery of love it comes knocking on your door
The mystery of love will find you wherever you are
The mystery of love comes at unexpected times, yeah!
The mystery of love knows exactly who to find
The first time around, love was a journey into darkest hours
The second time around, I found myself singing out your name loud
I love you
I la, la, la, la, love you
I love you
I la, la, la, la, love you
Hmm
