Well I could swear This king size bed Keeps getting wider And I could swear A strangers laying by my side And I can swear a long dark valley lies between us And there aint no way to cross the great divide
Chorus: The great divide Aint in colorado Its the distance that weve somehow grown apart The great divide Oh that rivers sorrow We can't rebuild The bridge we burned Between our hearts
And lord knows we both tried hard At crossing rivers But pride runs as deep As it is wide And the love that once could conquer any mountain Has reached the edge of the great divide
