Orchard Road (Remastered) - 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 pips, drop a coin in the slot

has it been that long?

I thought you'd forgotten me

I know that it's getting late

But it just couldn't wait

Will I have the nerve to say

I just wanna come back

Or should I just go away

I just wanna come back

I've been struck by such 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 12 o'clock and the curtains are drawn

They're counting sheep down in Orchard road

You're hanging on the telephone line tonight

oh, I wish I could be

in Orchard road

Not much been happening here

I think I got a job

They're gonna call me next week

And I'll be working out of town

Well, it sure beats hanging around

What's that, tomorrow at two?

You're kidding me? No?

Is it all right 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 12: 10 when I put down the phone

Moon shining down on Orchard road

And I'm feeling like a schoolboy again 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 lose track

But I remember you and the things we'd do

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 8 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
