Artist/Band: Nanci Griffith
Lyrics for Song: Across The Great Divide
Lyrics for Album: Other Voices Other Rooms [1993]



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
