Nanci Griffith: "Across The Great Divide"

with Emmylou Harris, Pete Kennedy, Nina Gerber and friends

i've been walking in my sleep
counting troubles instead 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
it was one that happened so long ago
it's gone away in yesterday
now i find myself on the mountainside
where the rivers change direction
across the Great Divide
