Lyrics:

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
Leo Sayer An Englishman In The Usa
