"Great Divide" lyrics - BRUCE HORNSBY

BRUCE HORNSBY
"Great Divide"

You're saying I've got
Got a lot, lot of nerve
To say that we could
We could be friends

You're thinking I'm just
Another one telling lies
Don't want to be fooled
Fooled again

When you always go your way
And I always go mine
Maybe one day we'll come together
Go across the great divide

I heard somebody
Calling you a bad name
I was speechless
Didn't say anything to him

Next time I swear
It's gonna be different
I promise not to be silent again

And you always go your way
And I always go mine
Maybe one day we'll come together
Go across the great divide

And I always cross to the other side
But I go back every time
Maybe one day we'll come together
Go across the great divide

I saw a bombed aisle
Heard a gunshot ring
Saw two matchsticks burn
Felt the bedsheets sting

Ugly words on a wall
And a robe in flames
I saw a little boy smile
When the clouds did move away

And you always go your way
And I always go mine
Maybe one day we'll come together
Go across the great divide
