Orchard Road Lyrics - Sayer Leo

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
