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 

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 

He's gone away in yesterday 
Now I find myself on the mountainside 
Where the rivers change direction 
Across the Great Divide 

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 

And it's gone away in yesterday 
Now I find myself on the mountainside 
Where the rivers change direction 
Across the Great Divide 
And it's gone away in yesterday 
Now I find myself on the mountainside 
It's where the rivers change direction 
Across the Great Divide
