Across the Great Divide

Lyrics

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
 Chorus:
 It's gone away in yesterday
 Now I find myself on the moutainside
 Where the rivers change direction
 Across the Great Divide
 Now, I hear the owl a-callin'
 Softly as the night was fallin'
 With a question and I replied
 But he's gone across the borderline
 Chorus
 ♪
 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
 
 Chorus Twice
