The Proclaimers - Letter from America Lyrics

Lyrics Letter from America - The Proclaimers



When you go will you send back
A letter from America?
Take a look up the railtrack
From Miami to Canada (well)
Broke off from my work the other day
Spent the evening thinking about all the blood that flowed away
Across the ocean to the second chance
I wonder how it got on when it reached the promised land?
When you go will you send back
A letter from America?
Take a look up the railtrack
From Miami to Canada
I've looked at the ocean, tried hard to imagine
The way you felt the day you sailed
From Wester Ross to Nova Scotia
We should have held you, we should have told you
But you know our sense of timing
We always wait too long
When you go will you send back
A letter from America?
Take a look up the railtrack
From Miami to Canada
Lochaber no more, Sutherland no more
Lewis no more, Skye no more
Lochaber no more, Sutherland no more
Lewis no more, Skye no more
Lochaber no more, Sutherland no more
Lewis no more, Skye no more
I wonder, my blood, will you ever return
To help us kick the life back to a dying mutual friend?
'Cause do we not love her? I think we all claim we love her
Do we have to roam the world to prove how much it hurts?
When you go will you send back
A letter from America?
Take a look up the railtrack
From Miami to Canada
Bathgate no more, Linwood no more
Methil no more, Irvine no more
Bathgate no more, Linwood no more
Methil no more, Irvine no more
Bathgate no more, Linwood no more
Methil no more, Irvine no more
Bathgate no more, Linwood no more
Methil no more, Lochaber no more
