The Great Divide - Tommy Shaw

Believe in that our love was over

We climbed to the attic to fight

… of my favorite positions

So they wouldn’t be left behind

But there in a dust covered jew box

A bundle of old letter lie

Wrapped in that old faded ribbon

Like a message across the great divide

Those letters from grandpa to grandma

Have written with love through the years

… like the words from a love song

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 will be saying goodbye

The sinners forgived up forever

When those letters crossed the great divide

Oh, love has a life of it’s own

Love, love, love is a life like those letters

Across the great divide
