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
