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 forgotten me

I know that it's get 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 of got a job

They gonna call me next week

And I'll be working at a town

Well it sure beats hanging around



What's that, tomorrow at two?

You're kidding me, no?

Is it allright when 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 loose track

But I remember you and the things we 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 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
