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
´Cos 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
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
Well it sure beats hanging around
What´s that
Tomorrow at two
You´re kidding me, no
Is it alright 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

[Solo]

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 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 mat
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
It´s 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
