Leo Sayer - An Englishman In The Usa Lyrics
Writers: leo sayer & les davidsonRambling round your city streetsI feel no earth beneath my feetAnd I feel my lifeIs crumbling into, into the seaBut I cant swimThree thousand milesSo all I have is lonely nightsIm an englishmanLost in the usaAnd its a long way back homeSuch a long way back homeAnd Im wonderingWhere am I gonna goLines dead -- operators goneAnd now the fear is coming onAnd I hear my loveWondering where have I goneSo Im gambling bucks for poundsYeah, but lady luckJust wont come aroundFor an englishmanWho is stuck in the usaAnd its a long way back homeSuch a long way back homeAnd Im wonderingWill I ever get awaySo here I am and there are youWhere wishful thoughtsDont serve no useAnd all the worrying in the worldWont pull me throughSo I think of love thatMight have beenAnd an airline ticketThats like a dreamFor an englishmanWho is lost in the usaSuch a long way back homeSuch a long way back homeAnd Im wonderingWill I ever get to goAnd Im waiting for youTo take me home
