Lyrics:
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 And I've been siftin' through the layers Of dusty books and faded papers That tell a story I used to know And it was one that happened so long ago CHORUS 1: And it's gone away in yesterday Now I find myself on a mountainside Where the rivers change direction 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 CHORUS 2: He's gone away in yesterday Now I find myself on a mountainside Where the rivers change direction Across the Great Divide
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 (Repeat first chorus x 2)
