The Great Divide - Gino Vannelli

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
