![]() Tekst en muziek: Leo Sayer en Alan Tarney (1980) ![]() 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 is 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 ![]() Ooh ohohoh 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 I’m coming home ![]() |
