Across the Great Divide
Journey Through Shadows: Across the Great Divide's Unseen Love Story
Lyrics
I can feel him, I can feel him
I can sense his presence.
Just beyond the circle of lights
He is just outside the illuminated area.
I can feel him tonight
His presence is palpable tonight.
Something's moving in the shadows in the still of the night
There's movement in the darkness during the quiet night.
And when his silver belt buckle catches the light
His silver belt buckle reflects light.
I can see him
I can visually perceive him.
In the flash of the headlights
Especially in the brief illumination of headlights.
He's waiting for me on the desert tonight
He is awaiting me in the desert.
We'll get in his car
We will enter his car.
We'll drive across that great divide
We will cross a significant barrier or distance.
'Cause he drives like an angelsame way I ride
Comparing his driving to an angel and her riding.
I can see him in the flash of the headlights
I can see him again in the headlight's flash.
Waiting for me on the desert tonight
Still waiting for me in the desert.
I can feel him, I can feel him
I can sense him once more.
Just beyond the circle of lights
Just outside the circle of lights again.
I can feel him tonight
His presence is felt tonight.
God, he's the only man I ever really loved
Expressing deep love for him.
I figure he's dead or else he'd a'looked me up
Speculating on his fate, possibly deceased.
You know it's funny sometimes I can just feel his ghost watching over me
Feeling his spiritual presence watching over her.
Sounds crazy doesn't it?
Reflecting on the seeming craziness of her feelings.
Have you ever been up to the panhandle?
Asking if the listener has been to the panhandle.
The sky's bigger than God
Describing the vastness of the sky in the panhandle.
It's like being dead center of a giant saw blade
Comparing the sky to a giant saw blade.
I hitchhiked all over that country
Recalling hitchhiking experiences in the country.
The sun's been stuck more places than I care to remember
Describing the sun's presence in various places.
And my only regret is I only screwed six thousand men
Expressing a regret about limited relationships.
Every single one of them was a chicken shit
Characterizing the men she encountered negatively.
By God I lived my life and that panhandle was my stomping grounds
Proudly stating her life experiences in the panhandle.
It had the bread and I had the butter
Highlighting the symbiotic relationship with the panhandle.
