Joe Cocker - The Great Divide lyrics
[Joe Cocker - The Great Divide lyrics]
Nights are long and the wind is howling down
Into the hollows somewhere deep inside
I can hear you calling out
Across the great divide
Right or wrong there's a feeling in my heart
I try to follow but lately i just hide
And my dream of someday crawling out
To cross this great divide isolation
Heart like a drum
And the beating is wearing me down
Standing at the station
But the train never comes
Still I'm hanging on
Like some old ghost town
Miles to go but I see that one way out
Stars in the distance skies are open wide
Waiting for my soul to rise
Above this great divide
Desperation is a dangerous blade
In a reckless and trembling hand
Sweet salvation just a thin line away
I should cut and run but, I'll make my stand
Nights are long
But, I'll close my eyes again until tomorrow
Slip the bonds and ride
Touch the face I long to see
Above this great divide
We'll be all We long to be
Beyound this great divide
Into the hollows somewhere deep inside
I can hear you calling out
Across the great divide
Right or wrong there's a feeling in my heart
I try to follow but lately i just hide
And my dream of someday crawling out
To cross this great divide isolation
Heart like a drum
And the beating is wearing me down
Standing at the station
But the train never comes
Still I'm hanging on
Like some old ghost town
Miles to go but I see that one way out
Stars in the distance skies are open wide
Waiting for my soul to rise
Above this great divide
Desperation is a dangerous blade
In a reckless and trembling hand
Sweet salvation just a thin line away
I should cut and run but, I'll make my stand
Nights are long
But, I'll close my eyes again until tomorrow
Slip the bonds and ride
Touch the face I long to see
Above this great divide
We'll be all We long to be
Beyound this great divide
