Separate Ways

Ray Charles · Other Songs - Ray Charles

Separate ways

There's one that goes and one that stays

But they will meet again I know they will

You know they will



In that tinsel town of time

Let's be fair, this boring life we have to share

You know that I care honest I swear

That's what I'm yet but the facts are so unfair



They say that's pain up ahead and rivers of rain

There's nowhere to hide

And today you must make a change

So ditch us all we'll go on our own separate ways



There could be some desperate days

And when you're on the legs don't stop

And stare don't say a prayer

Just call me and I'll be there



You must be strong life is hard

And I can't stay long 'cause deep down inside

We know we tried we had our fights

But you know the tale don't lie



Listen to the sweet harmony that we used to sing

Upon other lights all the shows shown all the night

I'm back on the stage I'm turning the page



Say goodbye, please promise that you will not cry

'Cause I want you to believe in you, show me you do

That's why I sing this song of our separate ways
