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, I said wait
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 pain
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, I said wait
Said give love a chance
The morning when you wake up
The sun will dance

I said wait, I said wait
Said give love a chance
The morning when you wake up
The sun will dance

I said wait, oh, and I'll return
I said wait, oh, and I'll return

I said wait, oh, and I'll return
I said wait, oh, and I'll return
I said wait, oh, and I'll return
I said wait, oh, and I'll return

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, I said wait
The morning when you wake up
You'll find your romance

I said wait, I said wait
The morning when you wake up
The sun will dance
