Across the Great Divide - 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


                            
I've been sifting 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 mountainside
                                           
		Where the rivers change direction
                                 
		Across the Great Divide


                     
Now, I heard 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
