Lyrics The Great Divide - Gino Vannelli

The Great Divide

In the small hours of the morning I saw you by the window
Just waiting for sunrise to light up the dark
I stood by in silence but it felt just like dying
As each tear you shed drove a knife through my heart
And I’m so sorry I’ve caused you such pain
But your tears are my shame
Tell me how do I reach you when you make me an outsider
Tell me how do I touch you when the valley grows wider
Tell me, how do I cross this great divide
How do I love you from the other side
And how do I make this loneliness end
And when will you love me again
You have every right to hate me, doubt me, forsake me
Deserve that and more for letting you down
But the silence, the distance this halfway existence
Is killing us slow without making a sound
I’m so sorry you feel all alone
But your tears are my own
And how do I reach you when you make me invisible
And how do I go on in a world that’s unlivable
Tell me, how do I cross this great divide
How do I love you from the other side
And how do I make this loneliness end
And when will you love me again
I know I’ve driven you far
I made you feel much less than you are
Have your way with me only give me some sign
It’s not a matter of love but just a matter of time
