In My Room
Yazoo Lyrics

I stand alone and watch the clock
I only wait for it to stop
And in the room locked up inside me
The cutout magazines remind me
I sit and wait alone in my room

And in my room against the wall
There is picture very small
A photograph I took some years ago
It shows a picture of the room I know

I sit and wait alone in my room

[Chorus:]
The walls are white and in the night
The room is lit by electric light

I stand and watch the clock
I only wait for it to stop
The doors are shut and all the windows lock
The only sound is from the clock
I sit and wait alone in my room

[Chorus]
