Lyrics
The Wedge
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
We're bobbing on the surface
and the shadow glides below
They say she feels my heartbeat
Oh..But how I'll never know
That it's the ocean flowing in our veins
Oh..That it's the salt that's in our tears
Oh..'Cause we could have come so very far
Oh..In at least as many years!
Take the highway through the Great Divide (x2)
I'm building you a pyramid
With limestone blocks so large
I drag them from the mountain top
You'll need a two car garage
And it's the ocean flowing in our veins
Oh..That it's the salt that's in our tears
Oh..Cause we could have come so very far
Oh..In at least as many years
Take the highway through the Great Divide x2
Cause it's the ocean flowing in our veins
Oh..That it's the salt that's in our tears
Oh..Cause we could have come so very far
Oh..In at least as many years
Take the highway through the Great Divide
