Lyrics to A Separate Peace
Dear son
Dear son
Can you blame me separate peace?
I will do what's right for me
Dear son, how you been?
I got your card and a bottle of gin now
What's new, let me see
Well there's no love left between your mother and me
She gets half the house, I'm getting my share
Life we built in these twenty-three years, yeah
No guilt, I've opened my cage
You'll like my new girl, she's about your agе, oh yeah
Ohh, well you can't blame mе
No, want my separate peace
I'll do what's right, what's right on now for me
Ohh, well you can't blame me
No, want my separate peace
Don't you stand there wide-eyed, don't believe
Can you blame me separate peace?
I will do what's right for me
And son, your mother's just fine
I see her in the market from time to time
She got so drunk that she wrecked the car
Trying to get home from the corner bar
Because this life is too short to be straight
I guess a little drink it helps her escape
She gave up now, disillusioned in men
But in that little bottle, she found a new friend, oh yeah
Ohh, well you can't blame me
No, want my separate peace
I'll do what's right, what's right on now for me
Ohh, well you can't blame me
No, want my separate peace
Don't you stand there wide-eyed, don't believe
Oh son, I almost forgot
Your brother left his body in a parking lot
Guess it happens all the time
These goddamn kids cross the needle and line
What happened, I can't understand
He left so early, he was such a young man
Oh well, now he's gone
Are you coming home for the holidays son?
Oh son, I almost forgot
Your brother left his body in a parking lot
Guess it happens all the time
These goddamn kids cross the needle and line
What happened, I can't understand
He left so early, he was such a young man
Oh well, now he's gone
Are you coming home for the holidays son?
Oh yeah
Ohh, well you can't blame me
No, want my separate peace
I'll do what's right, what's right on now for me
Ohh, well you can't blame me
No, want my separate peace
Don't you stand there wide-eyed, don't believe
Ohh, well you can't blame me
No, want my separate peace
I'll do what's right, what's right on now for me
Ohh, well you can't blame me
No, want my separate peace
Let me go, set me, set me free
Dear son
Can you blame me separate peace?
I will do what's right for me
Dear son, how you been?
I got your card and a bottle of gin now
What's new, let me see
Well there's no love left between your mother and me
She gets half the house, I'm getting my share
Life we built in these twenty-three years, yeah
No guilt, I've opened my cage
You'll like my new girl, she's about your agе, oh yeah
Ohh, well you can't blame mе
No, want my separate peace
I'll do what's right, what's right on now for me
Ohh, well you can't blame me
No, want my separate peace
Don't you stand there wide-eyed, don't believe
Can you blame me separate peace?
I will do what's right for me
