There are stains on the walls that won’t come clean Mementos of his final scene The plaster is peeling skin that’s gone grey The door stays locked to keep Time away
The abandoned spoil of love and despair Gideon’s Bible and an old black chair And an object he thought could steer him from harm But it was written in the stars
And outside they were singing The lights of Christmas Eve But he’s lost in the darkness Dreams are never what they seem Locked in Room 19
The secrets are buried in this musty cell Only the whispering curtains and the floorboards tell No more sorrow in this ill-fated life His voyage will set sail tonight
And outside they were singing The lights of Christmas Eve But he’s lost in the darkness Dreams are never what they seem Locked in Room 19
And he’s still waiting for his ship to come in He’s still longing for what could have been
He’s still waiting Locked in Room 19 He’s still waiting He’s still waiting
