Lyrics

To tell the truth, it's really such a sad affair
 Standing here and waiting in the cold night air
 But I've got to make this call
 'Cause my heart is breakin'
 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
 And 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 kiddin' 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 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
 ♪
 I'm coming home
 ♪
 (Coming home)
