She came from the wrong side of town
She crossed the tracks and then she turned around
Alone and restless
Left without a choice
She sought the comfort in a friendly voice
To survive she sold herself away
Every night and almost every day
Alone and restless
Left without a choice
She sought the comfort in a friendly voice
I said wait (x2)
Said give love a chance
The morning when you wake up
The sun will dance
She nearly lost herself along the way
So full of anger in a world of hate
She'd walk the streets at night all alone
No one to turn to
No place called home
Our worlds collided one summer day
I gave her hope and a place to stay
Alone and restless
Left without a choice
She found the comfort in a friendly voice
I said wait (x2)
Said give love a chance
The morning when you wake up
The sun will dance (x2)
I said wait, oh, and I'll return (x2)
I said wait, oh, and I'll return (x4)
She came from the wrong side of town
And through the pain she turned her eyes around
When everyone seemed to put her down
She caught herself before she hit the ground
Now so alive she once was dead
She gathered strength and walked the road ahead
Alone and restless
Left without a choice
She found the comfort in a friendly voice
I said wait (x2)
The morning when you wake up
You'll find your romance
I said wait (x2)
The morning when you wake up
The sun will dance
