Annie Waits Lyrics

And so
Annie waits, Annie waits, Annie waits
For a call from a friendThe same, it's the same
Why's it always the same?
Annie waits for the last timeThe clock
Never stops, never stops, never waits
She's growing old, it's getting lateAnd 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 in dreams
Friday bingo, pigeons in the parkAnnie 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 friendThe same, it's the same
Why's it always the same?

Annie waits as the lastHeadlights crest the hill
Who will be the one forever more?
Annie, I could be
If we're both still lonely when we're oldAnnie waits for the last time
Just the same as the last time
Annie waits for the last time
Just the same as the last timeAnnie waits
But not for me
