Across the Great Divide Lyrics

[00:25.76] I've been walkin' in my sleep
[00:31.60] Countin' troubles 'stead of countin' sheep
[00:37.97] Where the years went I can't say
[00:44.23] I just turned around and they've gone away
[00:50.60] I've been siftin' through the layers
[00:56.97] Of dusty books and faded papers
[01:02.45] They tell a story I used to know
[01:08.72] And it was one that happened so long ago
[01:15.00] Chorus:
[01:15.56] It's gone away in yesterday
[01:21.32] Now I find myself on the moutainside
[01:28.17] Where the rivers change direction
[01:31.41] Across the Great Divide
[01:35.86] Now, I hear the owl a-callin'
[01:41.88] Softly as the night was fallin'
[01:48.09] With a question and I replied
[01:54.37] But he's gone across the borderline
[02:00.10] Chorus
[02:45.43] The finest hour that I have seen
[02:51.21] Is the one that comes between
[02:57.61] The edge of night and the break of day
[03:03.88] It's when the darkness rolls away
[03:12.20] Chorus Twice
[03:50.25]
