Lyrics

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 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, wondering, "Will I ever get away?" Hey 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, Hey Such a long way from home Such a long way from home And I'm wondering, I'm wondering Will I ever get to go? Hey I'm a long way, a long way Long way, a long way A long way back home I've been wondering "Will I ever get to go?" Hey, yeah Yeah, I'm waiting for you to take me home C'mon, baby I'm waiting for you to take me home Yeah, I'm waiting for you to take me home, yeah I'm waiting for you to take me home, yeah Take me home Take me home
