The tunnel, lighted at both ends  
A mystery, for sure  
A cliché metaphor, my friends  
And one that we adore

Whenever there’s a lengthy task  
That’s nearing its conclusion  
We drag it out, and then we bask  
In its clichéd diffusion

Well have no fear, that is to say  
Whenever -- at the end of day  
You might need to refrain  
It’s not a coming train
