Room 1210 |
He kept to his own company last night |
Lay upon the bed |
Drapes and blinds shut tight |
He booked the wake up call |
His cases were all packed up by the door |
All ready for it, then: |
Goodbye Room 1210 |
He’s taken a view |
And squandered a few moments here |
But no time’s wasted when |
He’s in Room 1210 |
Away from all the brutal noise outside |
He paces out the waiting time |
Delaying at the threshold of the door |
He’s never going back to the party |
A black and white film |
Dubbed in a language |
He can’t understand’s |
Been on the TV awhile |
The night rush below |
The sirens outside come and go — |
No-one can touch him when |
He’s in Room 1210 |
Time and event disappear |
But every wall has ears |
And the stories accrue |
Dimly, he notes spinning gears |
He’s one among the ghosts |
Whose lives have been spent in |
Room 1210 |
A place of safety all his own |
Now he’s not ever going home |
Behind the door |
There’s just one favour, he implores: |
Do not disturb him |
Any more |
