THE GREAT DIVIDE
Lyrics by Grayson Hugh
Music by Marc Swersky and Grayson Hugh

I’ve been driftin’
out in the ocean
just like a sailor
who’s lost at sea
got no direction
ain’t got no notion
where the wind and the waves
they’re takin’ me

I’ve been lookin’
for some kind of beacon
searchin’ the sky
for solid ground
and I don’t know
just what it is I’m seekin’
there’s a big dark emptiness all around

When the night is full of danger
will you be there by my side?
When I’m all washed up
baby, will you lift me up?
Can you get across the great divide?

I shed my tears
til I got no more sorrow
got to keep on walkin’
in these worn out shoes
I’m tired of waitin’
still waitin’ for tomorrow
and I ain’t got nothin’
nothin’ left to lose

Now when the night is full of strangers
and I’m all torn up inside
when I’m all used up
mama will you fill me up?
Can you get across the great divide?

I’ve come as far as I can go
at the end of my trail
there’s no place left to hide
I’ve climbed the mountain
crossed the valley down below
and I’m standin’ on the cliff
I can see the other side

When the night is full of danger
will you be there by my side?
When I’m all washed up
baby, will you lift me up?
Can you get across the great divide?

Now when the world is full of strangers
and I’m all torn up inside
when I’m all used up
baby will you fill me up?
Can you get across the great divide?
I wanna know
Can you get across the great divide?
Can you get across the great divide?
