The Great Divide

She was reading a book that she'd already readJust to pass the timeHe just sat there and stared at the Tv setLike he was barely aliveAnd when the local news was overThey would climb the stairsAnd crawl in bed underneath the coversLike neither one was thereIt's a long, long wayAcross the great divideThe songs that they once sangNow echo far and wideThey could still get backAll the love that they have lost(But) only if they both will reach across('Cause) it's a long, long way to the other sideOf the great divideHe was up in the attic on the fourth of July'Cause they flew a flag in the yardWhen he found some old roses she had long ago driedBefore they drifted apartAnd how the years had slipped right by themHe didn't understandHe carried a petal into the kitchenAnd he placed it in her handIt's a long, long wayAcross the great divideThe songs that they once sangNow echo far and wideThey could still get backAll the love that they have lost(But) only if they both will reach across('Cause) it's a long, long way to the other sideOf the great divide
