  • 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
