Nanci Griffith - Across The Great Divide lyrics

Your rating:

I've been walking in my sleep
Counting troubles 'stead of counting sheep
Where the years went I can't say
I just turned around and they've gone away

I've been sifting through the layers
Of dusty books and faded papers
They tell a story I used to know
And it was one that happened so long ago

It's gone away yesterday
Now I find myself on the mountainside
Where the rivers change direction
It's across the Great Divide

Now, I hear the owl a-calling
Softly as the night was falling
With a question and I replied
But he's gone across the borderline

He's gone away yesterday
Now I find myself on the mountainside
Where the rivers change direction
It's across the Great Divide

The finest hour that I have seen
Is the one that comes between
The edge of night and the break of day
It's when the darkness rolls away

It's gone away yesterday
Now I find myself on the mountainside
Where the rivers change direction
It's across the Great Divide

It's gone away yesterday
Now I find myself on the mountainside
Where the rivers change direction
It's across the Great Divide
