I've been walkin' in my sleep 00:26

Countin' troubles 'stead of countin' sheep 00:32

Where the years went I can't say 00:39

I just turned around and they've gone away 00:45

I've been siftin' through the layers 00:52

Of dusty books and faded papers 00:58

They tell a story I used to know 01:05

And it was one that happened so long ago 01:11

It's gone away in yesterday 01:18

Now I find myself on the mountainside 01:25

Where the rivers change direction 01:31

Across the Great Divide 01:35

Now, I heard the owl callin' 01:40

Softly as the night was fallin' 01:46

With a question, and I replied 01:53

But he's gone across the borderline 01:59

He's gone away in yesterday 02:06

Now I find myself on the mountainside 02:12

Where the rivers change direction 02:19

Across the Great Divide 02:23

The finest hour that I have seen 02:53

Is the one that comes between 03:00

The edge of night and the break of day 03:06

It's when the darkness rolls away 03:13

It's gone away in yesterday 03:20

Now I find myself on the mountainside 03:27

Where the rivers change direction 03:33

Across the Great Divide 03:37

It's gone away in yesterday 03:41

Now I find myself on the mountainside 03:47

Where the rivers change direction 03:54

Lyrics:

[English]

I've been walkin' in my sleep

Countin' troubles 'stead of countin' sheep

Where the years went I can't say

I just turned around and they've gone away

I've been siftin' through the layers

Of dusty books and faded papers

They tell a story I used to know

And it was one that happened so long ago

It's gone away in yesterday

Now I find myself on the mountainside

Where the rivers change direction

Across the Great Divide

Now, I heard the owl callin'

Softly as the night was fallin'

With a question, and I replied

But he's gone across the borderline

He's gone away in yesterday

Now I find myself on the mountainside

Where the rivers change direction

Across the Great Divide

The finest hour that I have seen

Is the one that comes between

The edge of night and the break of day

It's when the darkness rolls away

It's gone away in yesterday

Now I find myself on the mountainside

Where the rivers change direction

Across the Great Divide

It's gone away in yesterday

Now I find myself on the mountainside

Where the rivers change direction

Across the Great Divide
