(Michael P. Heeney, Jackson Leap)



Well I could swear

This king size bed

Keeps getting wider

And I could swear

A stranger's laying by my side

And I can swear a long dark valley lies between us

And there ain't no way to cross the great divide



Chorus:

The great divide

Ain't in Colorado

It's the distance that we've somehow grown apart

The great divide

Oh that river's sorrow

We can't rebuild 

The bridge we burned

Between our hearts



And Lord knows we both tried hard

At crossing rivers

But pride runs as deep

As it is wide

And the love that once could conquer any mountain

Has reached the edge of the great divide



Repeat Chorus



The great divide

Ain't in Colorado
