Separate Ways

Why is it over?

Maybe I’ll tell you when you’re older

She said something ‘bout a river

And how I’m drowning in it sober, sober

Well, if I could go back again

I’d stop the river from closing in, oh baby, on you

Won’t understand a word I say

But, Abigail, it’s true

I know it feels like a rainy day

For these separate ways

For these separate ways

Why is it over?

I guess she never found closure

Had seven years and you together

And I wish we’d have made this work

To save you that hurt

But the mistakes I made came in like a flood

And the rain washed away all the things I loved

But, if only I could do it right, do it right by you

Won’t understand a word I say

But, Abigail, it’s true

I know it feels like a rainy day

For these separate ways

For these separate ways

For these separate ways

Well, we still love you

It’s nothing you did or could ever do

Your mom and I got things to sort through

But I’ll be seeing you, I’ll be seeing you

Well, you won’t understand a word I say

But, Abigail, it’s true

I know it feels like a rainy day

For these separate ways

You, you won’t understand

You won’t understand a word and it’s true

I know it feels like a rainy day

For these separate ways

For these separate ways

For these separate ways
