I told you last night that I could not see you anymore
But I didn't mean it, you know I'm still in love with you
So if you could meet me later in the park
I would like to let you know
That I really cannot let you go
You know that birds on a wing they are not the same
As these birds in a string you keep inside a cage
And though the vote is cheated, the reason is seasoned
The situation's plain to see
That we're missing a certain reverie
He said my table has content, how about yours?
She said today I'll wear diamonds instead of my pearls
You know these glasses are empty, the dishwasher's full
And the spoons reflect a certain shine
That makes him want to change her mind
You know that life is too long to be lived this short
Although pleasure and pain may be part of the game
But I would rather go by a very different name
Which has been forgotten here
Year after after year
