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
