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      The walls are white and in the night   The room is lit by electric light      I stand alone and watch the clock   How 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      The walls are white and in the night   The room is lit by electric light
