Playing For Time Poem by Richard Jarboe

Sun dangling playing for time,
Moon looking 'bout the same,
Down here playing for time,
I can't believe I remain.

I'm waiting, playing for time,
I circle around the block,
I'm looking for a friend of mine,
Keeping an eye on the clock.

True love, playing for time,
Trouble 'round the bend,
No use looking behind,
Just do the best you can.

Everybody's playing for time,
Till love comes their way,
Everybody's looking for love,
Playing for time all day.
