Title: Pearls Before The Swine

Lyrics Pearls Before The Swine

If I leave my front door open would you come and visit me?
Just to slander my name hopin'
That I would pack my bags and leave...
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

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

Can I offer you baklava
Or a bagel with cream cheese?
Will we say grace to our father
Holding hands down on our knees?
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?

What makes men claim that you’re a friend?
When you’re not at all?
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"
