"PEARLS B4 THE SWINE"
If i leave my front door open
would u come and visit me?
Just 2 slander my name hopin'
that i would pack my bags and leave...
If i did would rembember
2 feed the dove aad clean the cage?
And never count in front of the children
lest they die of old age
I dont really know y we have 2 go r separate ways
Whether or not we grow after the seeds r sown
Only time ca say...
Can i offer ubaklava
or a bagel with cream and cheese?
Will we say grace 2 r father
holding hands on down on or knees?
R we better off just fighting?
U on ur side, me on mine
R the words that i keep writing...
only pearls b4 the swine?
What mmakes men claims that ur a friend
when u're not at all?
They knock u down and then,
they lift u again, just 2 c u fall...
But like a bird i'll keep on singing...
a song that never leaves ur mind
If nothing else u've taught me one thing...
"Never cast pearls b4 the swine"Ross Wilson, John Farnham, and Ross Fraser
I've been a fool, I have been cruel
You put your faith in me
Ask myself why, no alibi
Now that you're facing me
Did things my way, I've had my say
Sometimes I crossed that line
But it seemed like a good idea
Seemed like a good idea at the time
I know I was wrong, I'm holding on
Learning is hard to do
It's not too late, if you will wait
I'll make it up to you
If you refuse, then I will lose
I let our life unwind
But it seemed like a good idea
Seemed like a good idea at the time
Seemed like the ring thing
'Til I watched you go
Seemed like the right thing
But I lost control
Out in the darkness I saw a light
And now I know
A bitter taste has taken the place
Of kisses that were so sweet
Open my eyes, I realise
My lesson is complete
If it ain't broke, don't try to fix it
Sometimes I crossed that line
But it seemed like a good idea
Seemed like a good idea at the time
It seemed like a good idea
Seemed like a good idea at the time
Did things my way, I've had my say
Sometimes I crossed the line
But it seemed like a good idea
Seemed like a good idea at the time
Seemed like a good idea
Seemed like a good idea at the time
