An Englishman In The Usa — текст песни (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
