The Great Divide

The Great Divide
Lyrics and Music by Kate Wolf

I’ve been walking in my sleep, counting troubles, ‘stead of counting Sheep.
Where the years went, I can’t say, I just turned around, and they’ve gone away.
And, I’ve been sifting through the layers of dusty books and faded papers,
They tell a story I used to know, it’s one that happened a long time ago.

It’s gone away  in Yesterday, now I find myself on the Mountainside,
Where the Rivers change direction, across the Great Divide.

Well, I’ve heard the Owl calling – softly as the night was falling,
with a Question, and I replied, but he’s gone   across the Border Line.

He’s gone away  in Yesterday, now I find myself on the Mountainside,
Where the Rivers change direction, across the Great Divide.

The Finest Hour 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 the Mountainside,
Where the Rivers change direction, across the Great Divide.
It’s gone away, in Yesterday, now I find myself on the Mountainside,
Where the Rivers change direction, across the Great Divide.
