An Englishman in the USA Songtext
von Leo Sayer

Rambling ′round your city streetsI feel no earth beneath my feetand I feel my lifeis crumbling into, into the seabut I can't swimthree thousand milesso all I have is lonely nightsI′m an englishmanlost in the usa
And it's a long way back homesuch a long way back homeand I'm wonderingwhere am I gonna goline′s dead -- operator′s goneand now the fear is coming onand I hear my lovewondering where have I goneso I'm gambling bucks for poundsyeah, but lady luckjust won′t come aroundfor an englishmanwho is stuck in the usa
And it's a long way back homesuch a long way back homeand I′m wonderingwill I ever get away
So here I am and there are youwhere wishful thoughtsdon't serve no useand all the worrying in the worldwon′t pull me throughso I think of love thatmight have beenand an airline ticketthat's like a dreamfor an englishmanwho is lost in the usa
Such a long way back homesuch a long way back homeand I'm wonderingwill I ever get to go
And I′m waiting for youto take me home
