How can two people
Who shared all their secrets
Have nothing left to say?
How can two lovers
Who turned to each other
Suddenly just turn away?
And how can two hearts
That once beat together
Be so still tonight?
Standing at the edge of goodbye
Here at the great divide
And where does love go?
Does it drift with the snow
Or lie cold in the ground?
How did forever turn into never
And leave without even a sound?
Once we moved mountains
That stood in our way
Now, we don't even try
Standing at the edge of goodbye
Here at the great divide
I know it's over
But I'm not over it yet
Now that I've learned how to say goodbye
When will I learn to forget
The memories begin the moment love ends
Is that all we leave behind
Standing at the edge of goodbye
Here at the great divide
Here at the great divide
