Apartment No. 9 lyrics

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)
