| Across the sea
|
| By the Tennessee skyline
|
| They told me I’d find my
|
| Hopes and my dreams
|
| But I long to be
|
| In the bed of my true love
|
| Back where I came from
|
| She’s waiting for me
|
| So I’ll make my way
|
| Through long winding country roads
|
| But my heart still beats
|
| For my home and my English rose
|
| I told my dad
|
| On the phone it’s amazing
|
| From the straight to the craziest places I’ve seen
|
| But I long to be
|
| In the arms of my true love
|
| Like he loves my mother
|
| He understands me
|
| I’ll spend my days
|
| Just travelling and playing shows
|
| But my heart still beats
|
| For my home and my English rose
|
| I met a man
|
| In a bar down in Memphis
|
| He told me he went there to follow his dreams
|
| He told me, «Son,
|
| You know, I lost my true love
|
| For the same exact reason
|
| That you crossed the sea.»
|
| And I found truth
|
| In people I barely know
|
| But my heart still beats for my home and my English rose
|
| Oh, my heart still beats for my home and my English rose
|
| Oh, my heart still beats for my home and my English rose |
