Nathan Asher and the Infantry — The Great Divide lyrics

Lyrics

A beauty too strong for breaking that would not cry
And arms to heavy to hold up a cast aside
I held you in the evening time I tried
To wake you in the morning when
I told you everything would come back twice
In hidden form
While you were warned
About the great divide
A stage too pretty to leave when the lights grow dim
And all of these reasons to go on return to him
Your scarf blew off your neck and down the side
I chased it off the rocks but since
You wouldn’t go and get it now it’s mine
That’s a choice
And you were warned
About the great divide
My lady, through fall and winter the leaves stay green
I don’t know what the weather out here means
I’ll have to take a season to decide
If I should walk, if I should talk
And if I walk, will I walk by your side?
Or just walk home
While you were warned
About the great divide
