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 And 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 I'm wondering will I ever get away
[Solo]
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. Such a long way from home Such a long way from home And I'm wondering, I'm wondering Will I ever get to I'm a long way, a long way A long way back home I've been wondering Will I ever get to go, yeah
[Solo]
Yeah I'm waiting for you to take me home C'mon baby And I'm waiting for you to take me home Yes I'm waiting for you to take me home Take me home
