Orchard Road - Leo Sayer

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
