I've been walkin' in my sleep And 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 They tell a story I used to know It was one that happened so long ago It's gone away in yesterday And I find myself on the mountainside Where the rivers change direction Across the Great Divide Well, I heard the owl callin' Softly as the night was fallin' With a question and I replied But he's gone across the borderline He's gone away in yesterday And I find myself on the 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 When the darkness rolls away It's gone away in yesterday And I find myself on the mountainside Where the rivers change direction Across the Great Divide It's gone away in yesterday And I find myself on the mountainside Where the rivers change direction Across the Great Divide
