Verse 1
You called all the way from America, said "Hang onto 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
Chorus
All the way from America
Verse 2
You called all the way from America, 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
Chorus
All the way from America
All the way from America
Verse 3
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
Bridge
All the way from America
I don't believe I'll stay here
I don't think I want to wait here anymore
And if you search for me baby
Better bring some more love than you declared
Chorus
E Aadd9/E E N.C. Aadd9/E
All the way from America
All the way from America

Chorus

All the way from America
All the way from America
