In the Doorway
In the Doorway
As I wait for you I rest my eyes
And doors appear, to my surprise
Shimmering doors with golden lace
Dingy doors of times embrace
So many doors they fill the skies
In every imaginable shape and size
They call to me, to open them
Choose a door then go on in
The door I pick, the choice I make
Will lead me down the path I take
Our door, I see, is well adorned
A rose red with jagged thorns
I stop to catch a glimpse inside
Looking where I'd soon arrive
If I take this door, see you again,
I choose a path of lust and sin
But it's not the only door to pick
So many doors it'd make you sick
Which doors are wrong? Which are right?
So many that they cloud my sight
Doors to heaven, doors to hell
And all the doors between as well
I grab my key open the door
Start my car and with a roar
I hit the road and head straight home
My wife and kids I'd left alone
Their resting eyes dream not of doors
But fields of flowers, emerald shores, and other places not yet explored.
