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 
  
 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 sto p 
 The doors are shut and all the windows lock 
 The only sound is from the clock 
 I sit and wait alone in my room 
  
 The walls are white and in the night 
 The room is lit by electric light
