The Great Divide Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Your starlit eyes, the afterglow a sign
You've set us wandering
So let me ride through the night 'til love is everything
Now an age has come out of the loneliness

[Chorus]
Your hand in mine (Your hand in mine, oh, oh-oh)
The great divide
A stitch in time
Then we recombine
The way it was
Well, dust to dust
Has led us here to collide

[Verse 2]
The blind
Collective mind of man is all they're offering
Then you bring a breath
Of life out of the emptiness

[Chorus]
Your hand in mine (Your hand in mine, oh, oh-oh)
The great divide
A stitch in time
Then we recombine
The way it was
Well, dust to dust
Has led us here to collide

[Bridge]
Ooh, love of mine
Bright as the starlight shines
Into the night
Changing our whole lives

[Outro]
(Ooh, ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh)
You trace the lines
Through space and time
Until you find
They all align
You give to me
A memory
Just a melody
I have to sing
