Separate Ways
Ray Charles · Other Songs - Ray Charles
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
