All The Way From America Lyrics - Joan Armatrading

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 

Photos 

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
