The days run on 'til we go back
This sorry place has shown me that
Although the sky is full of fire
The flames go higher and higher

America, America
Where have I gone?
It's such a long walk home
It's such a long walk home

If you see Annie, tell her I will
Buy her windows on the hill
Water flowers on the 'sill
'Til they grow higher and higher

America, America
Where have I gone?
It's such a long walk home
It's such a long walk home
It's such a long walk home
