Across the Great Divide Songtext
von Frank Solivan II

I′ve been walkin' in my sleep
Countin′ troubles 'stead of countin' sheep
Where the years went I can′t say
I just turned around and they′ve gone away
I've been siftin′ 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 in yesterday
Now I find myself on the mountainside
Where the rivers change direction
Across the Great Divide


Now, I heard the owl a-callin′
Softly as the night was fallin'
With a question and I replied
But he′s gone across the borderline

She's gone away in yesterday
Now I find myself on the mountainside
Where the rivers change direction
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 in yesterday
Now I find myself on the mountainside
Where the rivers change direction
Across the Great Divide


It′s gone away in yesterday
Now I find myself on the mountainside
Where the rivers change direction
Across the Great Divide
