Lotte Mullan America On My Mind song lyrics

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
