Nanci Griffith - 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 That tell a story I used to know It was one that happened so long ago It's gone away in yesterday Now I find myself on a moutainside Where the rivers change direction Across the Great Divide Well, I heard the owl callin' Softly as the night was fallin' With a question, and I replied But he's gone across the borderline He's gone away in yesterday Now I find myself on a moutainside 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 It's when the darkness rolls away It's gone away in yesterday Now I find myself on a moutainside Where the rivers change direction Across the Great Divide It's gone away in yesterday Now I find myself on a moutainside Where the rivers change direction Across the Great Divide
