I stand alone and watch the clock

I only wait for it to stop

And in the room locked up inside me

The cutout magazines remind me

I sit and wait alone in my room



And in my room against the wall

There is a picture very small

A photograph I took some years ago

It shows a picture of the room I know

I sit and wait alone in my room



Chorus

The walls are white and in the night

The room is lit by electric light



I stand alone and watch the clock

I only wait for it to stop

The doors are shut and all the windows lock

The only sound is from the clock

I sit and wait alone in my room



Repeat chorus
