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
