An Englishman in the U.S.A. Lyrics by Leo Sayer

Here

0

Rambling around your city streets
I feel no earth below my feet
And I feel my life is crumbling into the sea
But I can't swim three thousand miles
So all I have is lonely nights
I'm an Englishman lost in the U.S. of A
And it's a long way back home
Such a long way back home
And I'm wondering
Where am I gonna go
Lines dead, operators gone
And now the fear is coming on
And I hear my love wondering where have I gone
So I'm gambling my bucks for pounds
Yeah, but Lady Luck just won't come around
For an Englishman who is stuck in the U.S. of A
And it's a long way back home
Such a long way back home
Oh I'm wondering will I ever get away
So here I am and there are you
Where wishful thoughts don't serve no use
And all the worrying in the world won't pull me through
So I think of love that might have been
And an airline ticket that's like a dream
For an Englishman who is lost in the U.S. of A
Such a long way from home
Such a long way from home
And I'm wondering, I'm wondering
Will I ever get to
I'm a long way, a long way
A long way back home
I've been wondering
Will I ever get to go, yeah
Yeah I'm waiting for you to take me home
C'mon baby
And I'm waiting for you to take me home
Yes I'm waiting for you to take me home
Take me home
Take me home
