An Englishman In The Usa Lyrics - Leo Sayer

Leo Sayer and Les Davidson 

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 U.S.A 

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 U.S.A 

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 U.S.A 

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
