Annie Waits Lyrics
Annie waits, Annie waits, Annie waits

I'm no lyrical expert, but I believe this song is about a woman Annie waiting for her beloved to return from war.
The song mentions how "the clock never stops". This is giving attention to the fact that she's growing old without her loved one.
