[Verse 1: Richard Palmer & Roger Hodgson]

Later that evening, only a feeling

But it was there in the air that we shared in the twilight

Humming a sad song, where was our day gone?

But in the dark was a spark, a remark I remember

[Chorus: Roger Hodgson]

"Try again", she replied to some story I told

"Try again", yes, I will if I can

Oh, all I need is somebody to hold

[Verse 2: Richard Palmer & Roger Hodgson]

Learning a feeling, seeking a meaning

Finding a way, should she stay, how to say let's imagine

Maybe I'll go wrong, and it may not last long

But in the night, all the light must be right for this moment

[Chorus: Roger Hodgson]

"Try again", she replied to some story I told

"Try again", yes, I will if I can

Oh, all I need is somebody to hold

[Instrumental Break]

[Guitar Solo]

[Chorus: Roger Hodgson]

"Try again", she replied to some story I told

"Try again", yes, I will if I can

Oh, all I need is somebody to hold

[Instrumental Bridge]

[Chorus: Roger Hodgson]

"Try again", she replied to some story I told

"Try again", yes, I will if I can

Oh, all I need is somebody to hold

[Outro: Roger Hodgson]

(Oh yeah!)
