America on my mind
Once I had a lover
He came from California
The summer is in his eyes
And wild and careless as hell
He liked the way I spoke
The way that I could say cajole
He said California girls are more concerned with what they wear
England's cold and grey
I was just brought up this way
Looking out the window
Waiting for a change
I read all of his love letters
Knowing that I should know better
Hoping I might fall in love with something undefined
I think of him from time to time
But only ever if it rhymes
And America is on my mind
We dances across the desert
In matching outfits
But we never could decide the way to spend our lives
I could tired of the sunshine
He was never really mind
I was trying on a feeling
That never quite a ride
England's cold and grey
But I could never stay
So I stared out the window
Waiting for a change
I read all of his love letters
Knowing I could write them better
Do we ever fall in love if all so undefined?
I think of him from time to time
But only ever if it rhymes
And America is on my mind
What kind of love is pure?
I feel it most when I'm walking out the door
I fell for the sunset in the highways
He fell cos he knew I never stay
He read all of my love letters
Thinking he might know me better
Wishing he could fall in love with something undefined
I think of him from time to time
But only ever if it it rhymes
And America is on my mind
Oh Amercia is on my mind
