Lonesome For A Place I Know Lyrics - Everything But The Girl

So here we are in Italy 

With a sun hat and a dictionary 

The air is warm, sky is bright 

Your arms are brown, you're sleepin' well at night 

So, why does England call? 

The hedgerows and the town halls 

After all, there'll soon be nothin' left at all 

If we were born outside of place and time 

To make our choice, well this would be mine 

To live and die under a sun that shines 

But something pulls, something I can't define

Tells me England calls, whatever she's done wrong 

Always calls, this is where you belong 

I'm lonesome for a place I know 

Yes, I'm lonesome for a place I know 

Oh, but Florence you tempt me here to stay 

Amidst your hills to while my years away 

But your roots in soil lie, mine in paving stone 

And I hate what it's become but in my bones 

I'm lonesome for a place I know 

Yes, I'm lonesome for a place I know 

Why does England call? 

I'm lonesome for a place I know 

Why does England call?
