Orchard Road Lyrics

Orchard Road lyrics

Leo Sayer & Alan Tarney
To tell the truth it's really such a sad
affair
standing here waiting in the cold night air
but I've got to make
this call
'cause my heart is breaking.
I hear the bips drop a coin in the
slot
has it been that long
I thought you'd forgotten me
well I know
that it's getting late
but I just couldn't wait
will I have the nerve to
say
I just wanna come back
you shouldn't just go away
I just wanna
come back
I've been struck by such a bad luck
I need a place a little
happiness and some love
I think I can see it now
now let me paint the
picture
it's twelve o'clock and the curtains are drawn
they're counting
sheep down in orchard road
you're hanging on the telephone line
tonight
and I wish I could be in orchard road
not much been happening
here
I think I've got a job
they're gonna call me next week
and I'll
be working out of town
but it sure beats hanging around
what's that?
Tomorrow at two
you're kidding me -- no
is it allright with you
I
don't know what to say
it'll be like a holiday
when you say you're all
alone
makes me wanna come back
and this house is not a home
I just
gotta go back
it's twelve ten when I put down the phone
the moon's
shining down on orchard road
and I'm feeling like a schoolboy again and
tonight
I'll see you in my dreams of orchard road
it's funny but I
thought I'd never go back
I think sometimes I might loose track
but I
remember you and the things we do
and I want it back.
in orchard road
you've got my heart
I left it in your doorway
In orchard road a welcome
back
is waiting there just for me
In orchard road the sun will
shine
again I know I know
in orchard road you keep my love
just
waiting there for me
it's eight o'clock and the dawn's arrived
in orchard
road it's breakfast time
I climb in my car and I turn the key and I'm
gone
I am coming home
to Orchard Road
I'm coming home
