Lyrics
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 want to wait here anymore
And if you search for me, baby,
Better bring some more love than you declared
All the way from America,
All the way from America.

My heart couldn't stand the pain
Of that promised love
All the way from America,
All the way from America,
All the way from America.
