The rain poured down the wind-swept Avenue
On another dark wet December-afternoon.
AII my cherished memories are of you
AII my warmth and comfort stayed with you.
I would have wrote you a letter
But the telephone calls are free
`cos the boys in the next apartment
Are working all day.
They`re a great bunch of guys
But I think they`re all gay.
What am I doing avoiding what I`m trying to say?
Oh God
I wish I was home tonight -
With you in my arms.
But oh God
I wish I was home tonight.
Send me a naked picture by the U.S.Mail
Write a pornographic letter - you know I won`t tell.
Keep you`re legs closed tight
Keep your body under lock and key
Stay home at night and
Save all the best parts for me - yeah
baby.
Oh God
I wish I was home tonight -
Yes
I do
baby
Oh God
I wish I was home tonight.
I could be home in time for Christmas
If you want me to be
There`s a plane leaves here at midnight
Arriving at three.
But I`m a bit financially embarassed I must admit
To tell you the truth
my honey - I haven`t a cent.
Oh God
I wish I was home tonight - tonight
baby
Oh God
I wish I was home tonight.
Guess I`d better ring off before the boys get home
My regards to all your family and everyone at home
There`s a lump comes in my throat and a tear I can`t hide
`cos I want to see you so badly I just may die.
Oh God
I wish I was home tonight - with the ones that I love
Oh God
I wish I was home tonight
Oh God
I wish I was home tonight
Oh my God
I wish I was home toniclht.
I`ve been hearing voices out on the street
They say you`ve found someone else who`s really quite near.
Bet he doesn`t love you like I do
tell me what I wanna hear
That it just ain`t true.
