Across the Great Divide

I've been walking in my sleep

Counting troubles instead 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

It was one that happened so long ago

And it's gone away in yesterday

Now I find myself on the mountainside

Where the rivers change direction

Across the great divide

Now I hear the owl a-calling

Softly as the night was falling

Where the questions and I reply

But he's gone across the borderline

And it's gone away in yesterday

Now I find myself on the mountainside

Where the rivers change direction

Across the great divide

Finest hour 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

And it's gone away in yesterday

Now I find myself on the mountainside

Where the rivers change direction

Across the great divide

And it's gone away in yesterday

Now I find myself on the mountainside

It's where the rivers change direction

Across the great divide
