It's strange to find we're almost strangers

As i turn to leave you now

I know there are dangers

You have believed in me

As i believed in you

But it's not hard to see

In the end a man should do

What his heart tells him he must

And so i place my trust in the parting of the ways

The days that i have stood beside you

They are days that i could not forget if i tried to

But day has turned to night

Life's changed for you and me

Who knows what's wrong or right

We'll agree to disagree

Now the time for talk has passed

And so we reach at last the parting of the ways

Now i need to find my own direction

Side by side we faced the world together

But nothing lasts forever

And so the story ends

More than pride's dividing you and i now

And though we say goodbye now

At least we part as friends

It seems our future is decided

Now the fates dictate that you and i be divided

And though it's hard to tell

Where we will go from here

You know i wish you well

Even though my course is clear

It's no easy thing i do

To walk away from you at the parting of the ways

Though i need to find my own direction

You can bet i'll never forget

The times we've come through

But now we come to

The parting of the ways
