leo sayer - an englishman in the usa lyrics
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
