Across the Great Divide

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
