Kevin Costner - On The Great Divide Kevin Costner - On The Great Divide |
| I´m looking for a ruby in the eye of a wizard.I´m looking for a diamond in the western sky.I´m looking for an emerald in the hobo jungle.Could be yours and it could be mine.I threw my cigarette out the window.Ran my fingers through my hair.Put my future on the highway.I got that thousand mile stare.I see days and nights go by like movies when I close my eyes.Telephone poles and thunderheads are speeding past the great divide.Memories and dreams and faces falling through the western sky.I open up the window–the world goes rushing by.On every road I travel I see places I have seen before.In every face I look into the same eyes I have seen before.Out there in the distance there is somewhere I have never been.Lightning in the darkness – music in the roaring wind.Everyday is just a one night stand.Hearing the same old songs from those country bands.No matter where I go I just can´t decide.And I´m stranded on the great divide.I never will get back to who I was before this even though.I dream about my childhood and my family in New Mexico.My mind is on the future and my hands are on the steering wheel.Rain is falling on the fires that burn out in the oil fields.One night I will wake up and remember something I forget.Just in time to see the moon come rising on the mountain top.And I will see it clearly like a diamond on a distant shore.Shining there in front of me the answer that I´m looking for |
