When She Wakes Up (And Finds Me Gone)
She was reading a book that she'd already read,
Just to pass the time.
He just sat there and stared at the TV set,
Like it was barely alive.
And when the local news was over,
They would climb the stairs,
And crawl in bed underneath the covers,
Like neither one was there.
-Chorus-
It's a long, long way,
Across the great divide.
The songs that they once sang,
Now echo far and wide.
They could still get back,
All the love that they have lost,
But only if they both will reach across.
Cause its a long, long way to the other side,
Of the great divide.
He wa sup in the attic on the fourth of July,
Cause they flew a flag in the yard.
When he found some old roses she had long ago dried,
Before the drifted apart.
And how the years has slipping right by them,
He didn't understand.
He carried a petal into the kitchen,
And he placd it in her hand.
-Chorus-
