An Englishman In The Usa Lyrics - Sayer Leo

Leo Sayer & 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 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
