Al Stewart - Song On The Radio

Al Stewart - Song On The Radio



I was making my way through the wasteland


The road into town passes through


I was changing the radio stations


With my mind on you


Oh your friends call you "Lily Paloma"


But that's not the way that you are


It's too much of a gentle misnomer


For a shooting star



But you and me baby


I saw you there


Straight away I knew


There's really no hiding


I'll tell you right now


What we're gonna do


We'll go collecting the days


Putting the moments away


You're on my mind like a


Song on the Radio



I remember the first time I saw you


Alone in the dark with a drink


With a candle flame burning before you


And your thoughts closed in


You were staring out into the distance


Not seeming to hear what I said


Why did you put up such resistance


Like all the lights are red



'Cause you and me baby


I saw you there


Straight away I knew


There's really no hiding


I'll tell you right now


What we're gonna do


We'll go collecting the days


Putting the moments away


You're on my mind like a


Song on the Radio



I don't know what it was that was painful


But sometimes it's there in your face


There are times when you just look disdainful


Of the human race


Ah, but then on the wings of emotion


We circle each other in flight


Till together we roll like the ocean


In its bed at night



'Cause you and me baby


I saw you there


Straight away I knew


There's really no hiding


I'll tell you right now


What we're gonna do


We'll go collecting the days


Putting the moments away


You're on my mind like a


Song on the Radio


You're on my mind like a


Song on the Radio
