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
