The Great Divide - Tommy Shaw Lyrics
The Great Divide
We climbed to the attic to find
a few of my favorite possessions
so they wouldn't be left behind
but there in a dust covered shoe box
a bundle of old letters lie
wrapped in an old faded ribbon
like a message across the great divide
those letters from grandpa to grandma
were written with love through the years
as we read them together in tears
last one said I've always loved you
and don't ever feel sad or cry
cause if I cross over before you
I'll be waiting across the great divide
Oh, love has a life of it's own
to love, love, love has a life of it's own
We knew when we finished those letters
no one would be saying goodbye
you sent us a gift of forever in those letters 'cross the great divide
oh, love has a life of it's own
love, love, love has a life like those letters
across the great divide.
