Leo Sayer - An Englishman In The Usa

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
