Songs:On The Great Divide (82381)

Lyrics

(Stephen Fearing/Glen Stace - 2001 © Fearing & Loathing Music/Glen Stoeze)

Standing at the crossing Listening to the bell
Watch the people rushing Where to?
I can't tell A woman stops beside me
One eye swollen shut One eye on the future
Stepping in the wheel ruts It's a long train, everybody has to ride
On a two lane, riding on The Great Divide
It’s a long train and a fast ride
It hasn’t changed much since the last time
It’s a long train
Once when I was waiting Friend of mine
rolled by Grinning as he passed me
Smile around his eyes
But I could not speak to him
Even though I tried So give my love to Jesse
Little diamond eyes It’s a long train, everybody has to ride
On a two lane, riding on The Great Divide
It’s a long train and a fast ride
It hasn’t changed much since the last time
It’s a long train And when I rise, it’s coffee, tea, or cigarettes
Some mornings, it’s like rising from the dead
Old songs slipping through the sheets
Tumbling in my head Places I remember Faces I forget
It’s a long train, everybody has to ride On a two lane,
riding on The Great Divide It’s a long train and a fast ride
It hasn’t changed much since the last time It’s a long train
