Vārdi: Channel 3. After The Lights Go Out. Separate Peace.

Dear son, how?ve you been?
I got your card and the bottle of gin
What?s new, let me see
Seems there?s no love left between your mother and me
She gets half the house, I?m getting my share
Of half this life we?ve built in twenty-three years
But there?s no guilt, I?ve opened my cage
You?ll like my new girl, she?s about your age, oh yea

Can you blame me? Separate peace
I?ll do what?s right, what?s right for me
And I?ve found my separate peace
Understand me, can?t you see, I don?t care

And son, your mother?s just fine
I see her in the market from time to time
She got drunk, wrecked the car
Trying to get home from the corner bar
This life?s too cold to be straight
I guess a little drink, it helps her escape
She?s gave up, disillusioned in men
But in that little bottle she?s found a new friend

Can you blame me? Separate peace
Do what?s right, what?s right for me
And I?ve found my separate peace
Understand me, can?t you see, I don?t care

Understand me, can?t you see
Let me go, just set me free

Oh son, I almost forgot
Your brother left his body in a parking lot
I 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 just gone
And are you coming home for the holidays, son? Oh yea

Can you blame me? Separate peace
Do what?s right, what?s right for me
And I?ve found my separate peace
Understand me, can?t you see
[x2]
I don?t care
