Across the Great Divide Songtext
von Kate Wolf

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

And I've been siftin′ 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

It's gone away in yesterday
And I find myself on the mountainside
Where the rivers change direction
Across the great divide


Well I heard the owl calling
Softly as the night was falling
With a question and I replied
But he′s gone across the borderline

He's gone away in yesterday
And 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
When the darkness rolls away

It′s gone away in yesterday
And I find myself on the mountainside
Where the rivers change direction
Across the great divide


It's gone away in yesterday
And I find myself on the mountainside
Where the rivers change direction
Across the great divide
