Rambling 'round your city streets

I feel no earth beneath my feet

And i feel my life

Is crumbling into, 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 usa



And it's a long way back home

Such a long way back home

And i'm wondering

Where am i gonna go

Line's dead -- operator's gone

And now the fear is coming on

And i hear my love

Wondering where have i gone

So i'm gambling bucks for pounds

Yeah, but lady luck

Just won't come around

For an englishman

Who is stuck in the usa



And it's a long way back home

Such a long way back home

And i'm wondering

Will i ever get away



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 usa



Such a long way back home

Such a long way back home

And i'm wondering

Will i ever get to go



And i'm waiting for you

To take me home
