I've been walking in my sleep

Counting troubles 'stead 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

And it was one that happened so long ago

It's gone away in yesterday

Now I find myself on the moutainside

Where the rivers change direction

Across the Great Divide

Now I hear the owl a-calling

Softly as the night was falling

With a question and I replied

But he's gone across the borderline

It's gone away in yesterday

Now I find myself on the moutainside

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

It's gone away in yesterday

Now I find myself on the moutainside

Where the rivers change direction

Across the Great Divide

It's gone away in yesterday

Now I find myself on the moutainside

Where the rivers change direction

Across the Great Divide
