The Great Divide

The nights are long
 And the wind is howling down
 Into the hollows
 Somewhere deep inside
 I can hear you calling out
 Across this great divide
 In right or wrong there's a feeling in my heart
 I try to follow
 But lately I just hide
 And my dream of someday crawling out
 To cross this great divide
 Isolation
 Heart like a drum
 And the beating is wearing me down
 I'm standing at the station
 But the train never comes
 Still I'm hanging on
 Like some old ghost town
 Miles to go but I see that one way out
 Stars in the distance
 Skies are open wide
 Waiting for my soul to rise
 Above this great divide
 Desperation
 Is a dangerous blade
 In a reckless and trembling hand
 Sweet salvation
 Just a thin line away
 I should cut and run
 But I'll make my stand
 The nights are long
 But I'll close my eyes again
 Until tomorrow
 Slip the bonds and ride
 Touch the face I long to see
 Above this great divide,oh Lord
 We'll be all we long to be
 Beyond this great divide
