Lyrics

Separate Tables

The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.

At separate tables we sit down to eat,

In separate bedrooms we go to sleep at night,

I only wish you knew how much,

You've been on my mind;

I think about you when the morning comes,

I think about you when all my day is done,

Wondering what you are doing now,

Are you lonely too?

Because I - I miss you here tonight,

And I wish you were by my side,

And I don't want to let go;

At separate tables we sit down to write,

The separate letters that never see the light,

If only we could just agree,

To read between the lines;

I want to see you and I know what I will say,

We must be crazy to throw it all away,

Never knowing what is lost,

Before it's all too late;

And I - I miss you here tonight,

And I wish you were by my side,

And I don't want to let go;

Yes I - I miss you here tonight,

And when I hold you by my side,

Well I'm not going to let go.
