The Great Divide Lyrics - Singles - Cocker Joe

Nights are long 

And the wind is howling down 

Into the hollows 

Somewhere deep inside 

I can hear you calling out 

Across the great divide 

Right or wrong there's a feeling in my heart 

I try to follow 

But lately i just hide 

And my dream of someday crawling out 

To cross this great divide 

Isolation 

Heart like a drum 

And the beating is wearing me down 

Standing at the station 

But the train never comes 

Still I'm hanging on 

Like some old ghost town 

Miles to go but I see that one way out 

Stars in the distance 

Skies are open wide 

Waiting for my soul to rise 

Above this great divide 

Desperation 

Is a dangerous blade 

In a reckless and trembling hand 

Sweet salvation 

Just a thin line away 

I should cut and run 

But I'll make my stand 

Nights are long 

But I'll close my eyes again 

Until tomorrow 

Slip the bonds and ride 

Touch the face I long to see 

Above this great divide 

We'll be all We long to be 

Beyound this great divide
