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

R: 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

R:

The great divide
Ain't in colorado
