That in-between place... perfect for a pop song.

Rhythm Guitarist/Songwriter <br />(Original Songs, Acoustic, Lazy, Unaccomplished, Off-key vocals)
Not a band... just a songwriter looking to catalog some of the many songs I've written over the years (or forced to by some faceless muse)... If anybody enjoys the words and music (note: I can't sing!) and lets me know so, then all the better... but it's mostly just for me and posterity... (Although I wouldn't mind having these puppies published...).

Story behind the song
That purgatory of relationships... then add a past one to the mix... that's a recipe for lovers' "limbo" ("lovers' purgatory" just wasn't as catchy)
Lyrics
The birthday boy and girl decide to paint the town All the world's their stage but there's no one else around Blow the candle out and make a wish Only time will tell what the future brings Maybe it's the scotch but beneath the din it's Lovers' Limbo Never did they wane into mundane pretense Tho' she never would admit she knew him in the biblical sense She told him of a love gone astray How she had it bad for him in the worst way But he just let sleeping dogs lay in Lovers' Limbo (Bridge) Into the whirlwind they're spinnin' 'round and 'round -- Up and down He's longin' to fly but she keeps him on the ground -- Way down Lookin' in her eyes he can't deny the truth All his lovers past release his deja vu She's his albatross and she's his whale The princess in his ugly fairy tale Still he hopes that somehow he'll prevail from Lovers' Limbo (Instr. from Bridge) She's the author of this classic tragic comedy He's the anti-hero dressed in professed modesty She breathlessly sighs as they kiss Remembering a long past birthday wish About a distant lover left amidst the Lovers' Limbo He silently cries himself to sleep Her secret dark he vowed to keep Sometimes we just dig ourselves too deep in Lovers' Limbo Sometimes we can't escape our chosen fate, our Lovers' Limbo (Instr. from Bridge) December 1993 ©Words and Music by Lorenzo D. Policelli
