Dear son, howâve you been?
I got your card and the bottle of gin
Whatâs new, let me see
Seems thereâs no love left between your mother and me
She gets half the house, Iâm getting my share
Of half this life weâve built in twenty-three years
But thereâs no guilt, Iâve opened my cage
Youâll like my new girl, sheâs about your age, oh yea
Can you blame me? Separate peace
Iâll do whatâs right, whatâs right for me
And Iâve found my separate peace
Understand me, canât you see, I donât care
And son, your motherâs 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 lifeâs too cold to be straight
I guess a little drink, it helps her escape
Sheâs gave up, disillusioned in men
But in that little bottle sheâs found a new friend
Can you blame me? Separate peace
Do whatâs right, whatâs right for me
And Iâve found my separate peace
Understand me, canât you see, I donât care
Understand me, canât 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 canât understand
He left so early, he was such a young man
Oh well, now heâs just gone
And are you coming home for the holidays, son? Oh yea
Can you blame me? Separate peace
Do whatâs right, whatâs right for me
And Iâve found my separate peace
Understand me, canât you see
I donât care
