The Great Divide - Joe Cocker

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
