A man's like a handful of sand

A man's like a dazzling sun

His years slip your trembling hand

You look at him once and you're done.

My son, do not temp your fate

And do keep your heart secure

Before it is not too late

And future is dark and obscure

But if you delay just a day

But if you glance only once

You will become his prey

Your heart with love he will lance.

You'll torture yourself with hope

You'll burn and smoulder and melt

Then fear will reap it's crop

Of feelings you ever felt.

The logic will be dismissed

You'll gladly accept that all

Entwined in an endless kiss

You'll welcome your endless fall.
