I’m trapped in this limbo cave

Between here now and being there

Like being between the break of dawn

And making your morning debut

Like starting your breakfast fair

And the larders completely bare

Like being showered and cleansed

And doing your spruce for no-one at all

Like being ready for today

And there’s no tomorrow ’til fall

My time’s standing still here in limbo

And my patience is wearing away

Like the sunset and its extended dusk

And there’s only that vacant twilight zone

Like going to that luncheon date

And there’s no girl on her chair

Like travelling to town at night

And the streets are dark and empty

Like they’re all hiding from you

And waiting for your midnight showdown

Like being in this limbo cave

And no-where to go, no-where at all
