Just follow the stairway to this lonely world of mine
You'll find me waiting here in Apartment No 9
Not so very long ago you walked away from me
And after all the plans we made you decided to be free
Loneliness surrounds me without your arms around me
And the sun will never shine in Apartment No 9
[ steel ]
I'll keep waiting in this lonely room just in case you'd change your mind
You'll find me waitin' here in Apartment No 9
Loneliness surrounds me...

(Four o'clock in the morning and it's been raining
Little paddles of water reflect the thousand thin points of color
As neon signs shine and glimmer down into them
There's a sad unshaven face looking back at me
From one of those little ponds that keeps asking
How did I get here where can I go
And even if I got there this aching in my heart would go with me)
