The Great Divide Lyrics

Long ago, but not so far away

Love came along and lit the way

Can’t remember when I held my head up higher

Now love’s like a-walkin’ through a hurricane

A long cold night in the vertical rain

And I curse the day you set my heart on fire

My love cannot live up to your desire

Cause I’m still reeling, still running

Choking on goodbye

I’m still dizzy, still breathing hard

And I’m way too high

And the clouds upon this mountain block the view of my decline

I’m kickin’ hard, but still I fall into the Great Divide

Long ago when I took love in stride

I laid right back and enjoyed the ride

Hand in hand we stood straight, strong and tall

Now life’s look’in more like a rocky road

Love seems more like a heavy load

And I curse the day you set my heart on fire

My love cannot live up to your desire

Cause I’m still reeling, still running

Choking on goodbye

I’m still dizzy, still breathing hard

And I’m way too high

And the clouds upon this mountain block the view of my decline

I’m kickin’ hard, but still I fall into the Great Divide
