Karaoké Across the Great Divide Nanci Griffith & Emmylou Harris

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

It's gone away

It's gone away yesterday yesterday

Now I find myself on

Now I find myself on the mountainside the mountainside

Where the rivers change direction

Where the rivers change direction across the Great Divide across the Great Divide

Now I heard the owl callin'

Softly as the night was fallin'

With a question and I replied

But he's gone across the borderline

It's gone away

It's gone away yesterday yesterday

Now I find myself on

Now I find myself on the mountainside the mountainside

Where the rivers change direction

Where the rivers change direction across the Great Divide across the Great Divide

The finest hour

The finest hour that I have seen that I have seen

Is the one

Is the one that comes between that comes between

The edge of night

The edge of night and the break of day and the break of day

It's when the darkness

It's when the darkness rolls away rolls away

And It's gone away

And It's gone away yesterday yesterday

Now I find myself on

Now I find myself on the mountainside the mountainside

Where the rivers change direction

Where the rivers change direction across the Great Divide across the Great Divide

And It's gone away

And It's gone away in yesterday in yesterday

Now I find myself on

Now I find myself on the mountainside the mountainside

It's where the rivers change

It's where the rivers change direction direction

Across the Great Divide

Across the Great Divide
