The nights are long
And the wind is howling down
Into the hollows
Somewhere deep inside
I can hear you calling out
Across this 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 somebody crawling out
To cross this great divide
Isolation
Heart like a drum
And the beating is wearing me down
I'm 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
The 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
