Waiting On the Clock - Stornoway

I was just a boy and you were still a girl

In the reckless freedom of our newfound world

I made you a tape of all my favourite tunes

One headphone for me and one headphone for you

And each night, i’d go working in the cafe

All night, i’d be waiting on the clock to say

Midnight, i’d go running round to worcester place

Heart thumping as i climb the spiral staircase

Your college room was freezing in that winter break

And so we stayed in bed for two whole nights and days

You said you’d eat my goldfish you were so hungry

So on our shaking knees we went to try sushi

And each night, i went working in the cafe

All night, i’d be waiting on the clock to say

Midnight, i’d go running round to worcester place

Heart thumping as i climb the spiral staircase

And each night, i’d go working in the cafe

All night, i’d be waiting on the clock to say

Midnight, i’d go running round to worcester place

Heart thumping as i climb the spiral staircase

Half twelve, and i’m standing in your doorway

Half-scared, wondering what the hell you’re gonna say

Half-drunk, so i’m gonna tell you anyway
