Orchard Road - Leo Sayer

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
