Doorways
So by now you’ve noticed
I linger round a door to the past
And my gaze upon the future
Only momentarily lasts
You see, in all honesty
I’m a simple man
I have my faults
But I do the best I can
Yes, it’s true
My yesterdays are gone
And no one knows them like me
Yeah, I’m the only one
As I turn back through
The pages of my life
I reflect on younger days
Searching for answers I’d know were right
But to learn the answers
I must ask the questions
Research the world of love
Nourishment from digestion
Wandering through the past
Maybe the secrets to life I’ll know
Onward through doorways to the future
I’ll set a new course and go
