ACROSS THE GREAT DIVIDE
(Kate Wolf)

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.

cho: It's gone away in yesterday.
Now I find myself on the mountainside
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.
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.
