Waiting For Django

Album: The Veil Has Been Lifted

 

They thought I coudn’t hear you, they thought I was asleep

(that) I couldnt taste your salted tears as you began to weep

(that  I) couldnt smell your perfume from our wedding day

The one you wore just to pull me from this darkened cave

 

I’m lying here in limbo

Can you free me from this limbo

Stuck in purgatory denied a  final date

Stranded here in no-mans land, no bullets no grenades

 

Memories encircle me like machine-guns around my bed

I bet pennies with the ferryman by the river of the dead

Familiar voices, doctors, nurses, friends

Play my favourite music to get me on the mend

 

I’m lying here in limbo

Can you free me from this limbo

I look for sanctuary

But every door stays shut

Can you  break me out of prison

Free me from this curse

 

But you never knew about Django,

And how I loved his sweet guitar

I’d dance the twirling tango in the summers with my Ma

But I listened  him no more the day she up and left

Turn him off the radio, forget that she’d exist

 

guitar solo

 

I’m lying here in limbo as you write your billet doux

Just a cruel game of limbo on a tightrope  back to you

Stuck in purgatory without a  final date

Stranded here in no-mans land, no bullets no grenades

 

So one more year I'll wait for Django on the radio

I’ll see you in my dreams darling  when day is done

yes one more year I'll wait for Django, then I surrender dear 

but when you stop wearing that perfume I’ll know its time to go

 

When you stop wearing that perfume I’ll know its time to go…
