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 [ piano - steel ] I'll keep waitin' in this lonely room just in case you'd change your mind You'll find me waiting here in Apartment No 9 Loneliness surrounds me... No the sun will never shine in Apartment No 9
