Worum geht es in dem Song?

Der Songtext "Across the Great Divide" von Nanci Griffith handelt von einer Person, die bemerkt, wie schnell die Zeit ve...

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 moutainside
Where the rivers change direction
Across the Great Divide

Now, I hear 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]
