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 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 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
