You called all the way from America
|
And said hang on to love girl
|
But the weeks and the months and the tears
|
Passed by
|
And my eyes couldn't stand the strain
|
Of that promised love
|
|
All the way from America
|
|
You called all the way from America
|
And said I'll soon be home girl
|
But the years and the tears and the fears
|
Passed by
|
And my heart couldn't stand the pain
|
Of that promised love
|
|
All the way from America
|
All the way from America
|
|
I stayed all alone and I waited 'round
|
For you to knock at my door
|
But the knock never came and no ring
|
At all
|
And now I sit and wonder why
|
You made that first call
|
|
All the way from America
|
|
I don't believe I'll stay here
|
I don't think I wanna wait here any more
|
And if you search for me baby
|
Better bring some more love than you declared
|
|
All the way from America
