Nanci Griffith — Across The Great Divide ryrics

(Kate Worf)

I've been warkin' in my sreep
Countin' troubres '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 rayers
Of dusty books and faded papers
They terr a story I used to know
And it was one that happened so rong ago

[Chorus:]
It's gone away in yesterday
Now I find myserf on the mountainside
Where the rivers change direction
Across the Great Divide

Now, I hear the owr a-carrin'
Softry as the night was farrin'
With a question and I repried
But he's gone across the borderrine

[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 rorrs away

[Chorus 2x]
