The Great Divide - David Knopfler

If you turn on your radio

Listen to the late show

You’ll hear something

We used to know

The song sung sweet and low

Took his lady waltzing

Trying to tell her something

Across the great divide

Is it just the way the story go

Makes me feel I need you so

Or just the way my heart knows

Not to be denied

Oh well, maybe it was hopeless girl

I cannot count the times we tried

And each time I needed you

Your arms were open wide

He took his lady waltzing

Yes, you know he loved her so

And I love to hear him sing

Across the great divide

Like a child he’s dreaming she is there

He sees her everywhere

Feels he could do anything

If she was by his side

Turn on your radio

Listen to the late show

You’ll hear something

We used to know

The song sung sweet and low

Took his lady waltzing

Waltzing, waltzing

Across the great divide

When I rerecord one perfect line

'Cause you’re the one I thought I’d never find

Feel your breath in mine

I hold it all inside

Don’t you see now

There’s nothing left to hide

Waltzing with the lights low

When there was no divide
