Sarah's Door

My son there are fields you may stray With flowers to take hearts away Where you can be happy all day But listen to words I now say Enjoy life mid kisses galore But stay away from Sarah’s door - So into the world boy did go And boy did the boy put on show The flowers would wait in a row In hopes to just bask in his glow Truly this was what youth was for Now who would dare a dream for more - The Joy of day ran into night There never was a time so right Another kiss lurked out of sight An endless flow of sheer delight Had sparked his mind to Sarah’s door From somewhere he had heard before - He shared his longings with a friend Who warned him of some evil end It’s Sarah’s door let’s not pretend Rich kisses here we must defend Such crazy thoughts we must ignore Abandon thoughts of Sarah’s door - But Sarah’s door entered boy’s dreams From it imagination streams What lies behind its golden seams To push his passions to extremes It calls him taunts him to explore What madness waits at Sarah’s door - Now there’s still fields for hearts to play Where flowers wait to kiss the day And youthful airs are on display Except for one who went astray Now they don’t see him anymore Since he had knocked on Sarah’s door
