Song On the Radio
Al Stewart

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 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


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 were red


'Cause you and me, baby

I saw you there, straight away I knew

There's really no hiding

I 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


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 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


Oh, woah, song on the radio

Oh, woah, song on the radio
