rambling 'round your city streets
|
I feel no earth beneath my feet
|
and I feel my life
|
is crumbling into, 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 usa
|
|
and it's a long way back home
|
such a long way back home
|
and I'm wondering
|
where am I gonna go
|
line's dead -- operator's gone
|
and now the fear is coming on
|
and I hear my love
|
wondering where have I gone
|
so I'm gambling bucks for pounds
|
yeah, but lady luck
|
just won't come around
|
for an englishman
|
who is stuck in the usa
|
|
and it's a long way back home
|
such a long way back home
|
and 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 usa
|
|
such a long way back home
|
such a long way back home
|
and I'm wondering
|
will I ever get to go
|
|
and I'm waiting for you
|
to take me home
|
