[Intro]
Da-da-da-da
Da-da-da-da

[Verse 1]
If I leave my front door open
Would you come and visit me?
Just to slander my name hoping
That I would pack my bags and leave

[Verse 2]
If I did would you remember
To feed the dove and clean the cage?
And never count in front of the children
Lest they die of old age

[Chorus]
I don't really know why we have to go our separate ways
Separate ways
Whether or not we grow after the seeds are sown
Only time can say

[Verse 3]
Can I offer you baklava
Or a bagel with cream cheese?
Will we say grace to our father
Holding hands down on our knees?
[Verse 4]
Are we better off just fighting?
You on your side, me on mine
Are the words that I keep writing
Only pearls before the swine?

[Chorus]
What makes men claim that you're a friend
When you are not at all?
They just want
They knock you down and then
They lift you up again, just to see you fall


But like a bird I'll keep on singing
A song that never leaves your mind
If nothing else you've taught me one thing
"Never cast your pearls before the swine"
