Separate Ways

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 good-bye; 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.
