Orchard Road Lyrics by Leo Sayer

Orchard Road

To tell the truth it's really such a sad affairstanding here waiting in the cold night airbut I've got to make this call'cause my heart is breaking.
I hear the bips drop a coin in the slothas it been that longI thought you'd forgotten mewell I know that it's getting latebut I just couldn't wait
will I have the nerve to sayI just wanna come backyou shouldn't just go awayI just wanna come back
I've been struck by such a bad luckI need a place a little happiness and some loveI think I can see it nownow let me paint the picture
it's twelve o'clock and the curtains are drawnthey're counting sheep down in orchard roadyou're hanging on the telephone line tonightand I wish I could be in orchard road
not much been happening hereI think I've got a jobthey're gonna call me next weekand I'll be working out of townbut it sure beats hanging around
what's that? Tomorrow at twoyou're kidding me nois it allright with youI don't know what to sayit'll be like a holiday
when you say you're all alonemakes me wanna come backand this house is not a homeI just gotta go back
it's twelve ten when I put down the phonethe moon's shining down on orchard roadand I'm feeling like a schoolboy again and tonightI'll see you in my dreams of orchard road
it's funny but I thought I'd never go backI think sometimes I might loose trackbut I remember you and the things we doand I want it back.
in orchard road you've got my heartI left it in your doorwayIn orchard road a welcome backis waiting there just for meIn orchard road the sun will shineagain I know I knowin orchard road you keep my lovejust waiting there for me
it's eight o'clock and the dawn's arrivedin orchard road it's breakfast timeI climb in my car and I turn the key and I'm goneI am coming hometo Orchard Road
I'm coming home
