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
