Lyrics
LOVE IS A FOREIGN LAND by Collo
VERSE 1
I’ve climbed Kilimanjaro
Inhaled frozen air you can’t breathe
I’ve sailed a felucca down the Nile
Walked through the highland heath
CHORUS
I’ve roamed the world and I have seen places humble and grand
But when you hold me tight
And tell me that you care
I feel that love is a foreign land
VERSE 2
Watched the sunset at Uluru
Beheld a sky with a million stars
Woke with spray from Niagra Falls
In DC read Lincoln’s memoires
CHORUS
I’ve roamed the world and I have seen places humble and grand
But when you hold me tight
And tell me that you care
I feel that love is a foreign land
VERSE 3
Met you at the Spanish Steps
Your smile drew me right in
We spoke of all our travels
The favourite places we have been
CHORUS
I’ve roamed the world and I have seen places humble and grand
But when you hold me tight
And tell me that you care
I feel that love is a foreign land
BRIDGE
A foreign land
Oh a foreign land
There’s no guide to consult
No map to show the way
The language is oh so strange
I’m lost in every way
I am lost in oh, in oh so many ways
CHORUS (x2)
I’ve roamed the world and I have seen places humble and grand
But when you hold me tight
And tell me that you care
I feel that love is a foreign land
OUTRO
Love is a foreign land
Yes a foreign land
