for a call from a friend
 the same
 it's the same  why's 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 but 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 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, why's it always the same?
 annie waits as the last...

 headlights crest the hill
 who will be the one forever more
 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
 but not for me
