orchard road
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  Ive 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  Its 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 Ive 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 alright 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  Its twelve ten when I put down the phone The moons shining down on orchard road And I'm feeling like a schoolboy again and tonight Ill see you in my dreams of orchard road  Its 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  Its eight o'clock and the dawns 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
