SONG OF THE WEEK

published on the album Foolish Behaviour 1980

LYRICS

The rain poured down the wind swept avenue

On another dark wet December afternoon

All my cherished memories are of you

All my warmth and comfort stayed with You

I would have wrote You a letter but the telephone calls are free

'Cause the boys in the next apartment are working all day

They're a great bunch of guys but I think they're all gay

What am I doing avoiding what I'm trying to say, hey

Oh God I wish I was home tonight with You in my arms

Oh God I wish I was home tonight

Send me a naked picture by the U.S. mail

Write a pornographic letter, You know I won't tell

Keep Your legs closed tight, keep Your body under lock and key

Stay home at night and save all the best parts for me, yeah baby

Oh God I wish I was home tonight, yes I do baby

Oh God I wish I was home tonight, oh

I could be home in time for Christmas if You want me to be

There's a plane leaves here at midnight arriving at three

But I'm a bit financially embarrassed I must admit

To tell You the truth my honey I haven't a cent but you know what

Oh God I wish I was home tonight, tonight baby

Oh God I wish I was home tonight

Guess I'd better ring off before the boys get home

My regards to all your family and everyone at home

There's a lump comes to my throat and a tear I can't hide

'Cause I want to see you so badly, I just may die

And you know why baby

Oh God I wish I was home tonight, with the I ones that I love

Oh God I wish I was home tonight, yeah

Oh God I wish I was home tonight

Oh my God I wish I was home tonight, tonight, tonight

I've been hearing voices out on the street

They say you've found some one else who's really quite neat

But he doesn't move you like I do

Tell me what I wanna hear that it just ain't true
