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 its getting late
but it just couldn't wait

will i have the nerve to say-
i just wanna come back
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 twelve o'clock and the curtains are drawn
they're counting sheep down in orchard road
and 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 hangin' around

what's that? tomorrow at two?
you're kidding me - no!
is that alright with you?
i don't know what to say
it'll be like a holiday

when you say you're all along-
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 lose track
but i remember you and the things we'd 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
just waiting there for me

it's eight o'clock and the dawn's arrived
in orchard road its breakfast time
i climb in my car and turn the key
and i'm gone-
i am coming home- to orchard road

i'm coming home
