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 (2x) 
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 (2x) 
Said give love a chance 
The morning when you wake up 
The sun will dance (2x) 
I said wait, oh, and I'll return (2x) 
I said wait, oh, and I'll return (4x) 
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 (2x) 
The morning when you wake up 
You'll find your romance 
I said wait (2x) 
The morning when you wake up 
The sun will dance
