I've been walkin' in my sleep
Countin' troubles 'stead of countin' sheep
Where the years went I can't say
I just turned around and they've gone away
I've been siftin' 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
Chorus
It's gone away in yesterday
Now I find myself on the mountainside
Where the rivers change direction
Across the Great Divide
Now, I heard the owl a-callin'
Softly as the night was fallin'
With a question and I replied
But he's gone across the borderline
Chorus
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
Chorus Twice
(Kate Wolf) I've been walkin' in my sleep Countin' troubles 'stead of countin' sheep Where the years went I can't say I just turned around and they've gone away I've been siftin' 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 Chorus It's gone away in yesterday Now I find myself on the mountainside Where the rivers change direction Across the Great Divide Now, I heard the owl a-callin' Softly as the night was fallin' With a question and I replied But he's gone across the borderline Chorus 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 Chorus Twice Explain Request ×
