Lonesome For A Place I Know lyrics
Song information
Artist: Everything But The Girl Album: Idlewild
Lyrics
So here we are in italy With a sun hat and a dictionary The air is warm, the sky is bright Your arms are brown you're sleeping well at night So why does england call? The hedgerows and the townhalls After all, there'll soon be nothing left at all
If we were born outside of place and time To make our choice, well this would be mine To live and die under a sun that shines But something pulls, something I can't define Tells me england calls, whatever she's done wrong Always calls, "this is where you belong." And I'm lonesome for a place I know
Oh but florence you tempt me (here) to stay Amidst your hills to while my years away But your roots in soil lie, mine in paving stone And I hate what it's become, but in my bones I'm lonesome for a place I know Why does england call?
