Song On The Radio Lyrics - Time Passages - 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'll 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 

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 are red 

'Cause you and me baby 

I saw you there 

Straight away I knew 

There's really no hiding 

I'll 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 

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'll 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
