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
