The tunnel’s just lengthened.
The tunnel’s just lengthened
Just as we thought
We were reaching the surface
And feeling the heat
From the light that was shining
Far off in that night
So near yet so far
Within touching but no
Another month beckons
Then another to go.
It’s all been so slow
Like a slow motion movie
Like a guest who won’t leave
Deaf to our words
And blind to our feelings
Staying on in the hall
With the front door wide open
Unwilling, unable to make a departure
Just one tale more
Just one funny joke
Not easy to smile
When all you want now
Is the house back in order
And time to yourself.
