[Verse 1]
A A
It was a hot day in the city, dusty June without a breeze
A D D A A A A
And my thoughts were drifting home again across the eastern seas
A A
And I dreamed of all we spoke of on that cloudy airport day
A D D A
A week or more ago and just three thousand miles away
[Chorus]
D A
And there's an English morning calling me back home
D A Bm A Bm
English morning calling me back home again
[Verse 2]
A A
From St. Louis up to Boston, an American flight today
A D D A
And a hostess asks your cocktail choice to pass the time away
A A
So I sit with pen and paper, tried to write my feelings down
A D D A
But I just can't seem to say how much I miss you being round
[Chorus]
D A
And there's an English morning calling me back home
D A
English morning calling me back home again
(Break)

[Verse 3]
A A
Well I miss your conversation, yes I miss you very much
A D D A
But I recall that most of all, I miss your midnight touch
A A
For the night is plagued with phantoms, outside a siren cries
A D D A
And the figures on my TV screen dance for unseeing eyes
[Chorus]
D A
And there's an English morning calling me back home
D A
English morning calling me back home again
[Outro]
