I'm sitting alone in the gloom of the room

Sitting and waiting for someone to call on my name

Sitting alone, I watch the fire burn

And I'm wondering why I came

It's not far away to the land that remains

But the land that remains in my mind is never the same

So I wander around, it's here that I'm found

And I'm wondering why I came

I'm here by myself, they're right down the hall

They laugh and they dance while I try to keep myself sane

I'm here by myself while they're having fun

And I'm wondering why I came

'Cause there's things that I want, and things I can't get

And things that I want that I've not thought of yet

And all that is left of me is my mind

Sitting and waiting for things that I left behind

I'm sitting alone in the gloom of the room

Sitting and waiting for someone to call out my name

Sitting alone, I watch the fire burn

And I'm wondering why I came

Wondering why I came
