Song On The Radio by Al Stewart

I was makin' 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 hidin'
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

Go girl 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

Ahh, but then on the wings of emotion
We circle each other in the flight
Till together we roll like the ocean
In it's 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

Go girl 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 oh, song on the radio
Oh oh, song on the radio
