"Separate Lives"

 

Alan Parsons, Alan Parsons

It's been a long road
We've walked the last mile

We reach the same conclusion
And we stop for a while

Together we know
The way we must go

We're leaving an illusion

That's for us to share
Only for us to share

 

We live our separate lives
And go our different ways
'Cause we don't see eye to eye
And we can't stand face to face
We live our separate lives

While counting all the days
Till the two of us arrive
In another time and place

 

We share the same thoughts
We read the same lines
We meet on sad occasions
And in happier times

A spoken goodbye
And both of us try
To walk away in silence

That's for us to share
Only for us to share

 

We live our separate lives
And go our different ways
'Cause we don't see eye to eye
And we can't stand face to face
We live our separate lives
While counting all the days
Till the two of us arrive
In another time and place

 

And always goodbye
But heaven knows why
I can't erase the memory
That's for us to share

Only for us to share
Only for us to share
Only for us to share

 

We live our separate lives
And go our different ways
'Cause we don't see eye to eye
And we can't stand face to face
We live our separate lives

While counting all the days
Till the two of us arrive
In another time and place

 

We live our separate lives
And go our different ways
'Cause we don't see eye to eye
And we can't stand face to face
We live our separate lives

While counting all the days
Till the two of us arrive
In another time and place
