Lead and title track from forthcoming album, acoustic and optimistic, written during covid 5km lockdown - a time of reflection - a summer feel song that skips along with a light conga beat, dancing bass and guitar, trumpet and vocal harmonies.

lyrics

I've practiced running down your roads that lead me nowhere
And I ran faster than I could through each dead end
Got stuck in roundabouts and traffic Jams no road service
and on the way I lost and found some of my friends
So
Take me back to the Junction
Take me back to the Junction
Take me back to the Junction
Now let's go!
I slipped and slithered, tripped and fell on worn out pavement
I picked myself up and I learned to walk again
I've written letters then moved on and never sent them
Once words escape and hurt
That shit's so hard to mend
So
Take me back to the Junction
Take me back to the Junction
Take me back to the Junction
Now let's go
I've seen behind the curtain and beyond the footlights
And on a see saw I have been both high and low
I close my eyes to look into silence
And I return again with all the love I know
So
Take me back to the Junction
Take me back to the Junction
Take me back to the Junction
Now let's go
Nice and slow
Back to what I know
