Lyrics to This Great Divide
SHAKESPEARE
Are you waiting for me… From across the great divide
Can you hear me thinking? The thoughts I have inside Maybe there’s a heaven
And love is all we have
Maybe there is no end
And you are all I had
Wait for me Wait for me
Wait for me…
Away from me..
SHAKESPEARE
I can see the morning My dreams of you
They fade I can hear you calling
For me to stay awake Maybe there’s a heaven
And love is all we have
Maybe there is no end And you were all I had… Wait for me…
Wait for me Wait for me…
Away from me… Away from me…
Away from me
