All the Way from America

You called all the way from

America And said hang on to love girl

But the weeks and the months and the tears

Passed by

And my eyes couldn't stand the strain

Of that promised love

All the way from

America You called all the way from

America And said

I'll soon be home girl

But the years and the tears and the fears

Passed by

And my heart couldn't stand the pain

Of that promised love

All the way from

America All the way from

America I stayed all alone and

I waited 'round

For you to knock at my door

But the knock never came and no ring

At all And now

I sit and wonder why

You made that first call

All the way from

America I don't believe

I'll stay here

I don't think

I wanna wait here any more

And if you search for me baby

Better bring some more love than you declared

All the way from

America
