Go Your Own Way

My darling can these hateful days
So dim and joyless and so long
Be added up to such a sum
As sunless hours and broken song
To count in years and mourn two springs
Whose happy times and birds do sing
Are not for me and not for you
Why is that so hard to choose?

You go your way, I'll go mine
Along this dark and shattered street
And we'll tread our path of bitterness
Like the dawn and dusk that never meet

For many years have passed away
And all those thousand days are done
If you gaze west and I turn east
I could claim on the setting sun
See parted then we live alone
In fear-filled hours and constant claims
The endless mountain all unwinds
That was to be your life and mine

You go your way, I'll go mine
Along this dark and shattered street
And we'll tread our path of bitterness
Like the dawn and dusk that never meet
