(Leo Sayer/Les Davidson)
|
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
|
|
[Solo]
|
|
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
|
|
[Solo]
|
|
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
|
|
[Solo]
|
|
Take me home
|
