(Michael P. Heeney/Jackson Leap)
Well I could swear
This king size bed

Keeps getting wider
And I could swear
A stranger's laying by my side

And I can swear a long dark valley lies between us
And there ain't no way to cross the great divide


The great divide
Ain't in Colorado
It's the distance that we've somehow grown apart

The great divide
Oh that river's 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


The great divide
Ain't in Colorado

It's the distance that we've somehow grown apart
The great divide
Oh that river's sorrow

We can't rebuild
The bridge we burned
Between our hearts


The great divide
Ain't in Colorado
