Annie Waits Lyrics

And so

 Annie waits, Annie waits, Annie waits

 For a call

 From a friend

 The same

 It's the same

 Was it always the same?

 Annie waits for the last time

 

 The clock never stops, never stops, never waits

 She's growing old

 It's getting late

 And so he forgot, he forgot

 Maybe not

 Maybe he's been seriously hurt

 Would that be worse?

 

 Headlights crest the hill

 Shadows pass her by and out of sight

 Annie sees her dreams:

 Friday bingo, pigeons in the park

 

 Annie waits for the last time

 Just the same as the last time

 

 Annie says "You see this is why I'd rather be alone."

 

 And so

 Annie waits, Annie waits, Annie waits

 For a call

 From a friend

 The same

 It's the same

 Was it always the same?

 Annie waits as the last...

 

 Headlights crest the hill

 Who will be the one for evermore?

 (ooh ooh)

 Annie, I could be

 If we're both still lonely when we're old

 

 Annie waits for the last time

 Just the same as the last time

 Annie waits for the last time

 Just the same as the last time

 

 Annie waits

 But not for me
