The Proclaimers - Letter from America [Acoustic Version] Lyrics




When you go will you send back
A letter from America?
Take a look up the rail track
From Miami to Canada

Broke off from my work the other day
I 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?

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

Lochaber no more
Sutherland no inure
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

Do we not love her?
Do we not say we love her?
Do we have to roam the world
To prove how much it hurts?

Bathgate no more
Linwood no more
Methil no more
Irvine no more
