[00:00:00] Roads To Moscow (Live 1981) - Al Stewart

[00:00:01] Written by：Al Stewart

[00:00:38] They crossed over the border the hour before dawn

[00:00:45] Moving in lines through the day

[00:00:50] Most of our planes were destroyed on the ground where they lay

[00:00:57] Waiting for orders we held in the wood

[00:01:03] Word from the front never came

[00:01:08] By evening the sound of the gunfire was miles away

[00:01:16] I softly move through the shadows slip away through the trees

[00:01:23] Crossing their lines in the mist in the fields

[00:01:26] On our hands and our knees

[00:01:31] And all that I ever

[00:01:34] Was able to see

[00:01:38] The fire in the air glowing red

[00:01:40] Silhouetting the smoke on the breeze

[00:01:53] All summer they drove us back through the Ukraine

[00:01:59] Smolensk and Viasma soon fell

[00:02:05] By Autumn we stood with our backs to the town of Orel

[00:02:12] Closer and closer to Moscow they come

[00:02:18] Riding the wind like a bell

[00:02:24] General Guderian stands at the crest of the hill

[00:02:31] Winter brought with the rains oceans of mud filled the roads

[00:02:37] Gluing the tracks of their tanks to the ground

[00:02:41] While the skies turned snow

[00:02:46] And all that I ever

[00:02:49] Was able to see

[00:02:52] The fire in the air glowing red

[00:02:55] Silhouetting the snow on the breeze

[00:03:01] Ah ah ah

[00:03:08] Ah ah ah

[00:03:15] Ah ah ah

[00:03:23] Ah ah ah

[00:03:30] In the footsteps of Napoleon the shadow figures stagger through the winter

[00:03:37] Falling back before the gates of Moscow standing in the wings

[00:03:40] Like an avenger

[00:03:45] And far away behind their lines

[00:03:46] The partisans are stirring in the forest

[00:03:52] Coming unexpectedly upon their outpost growing

[00:03:55] Like a promise

[00:03:59] You'll never know you'll never know

[00:04:00] Which way to turn which way to look you'll never see us

[00:04:06] As we steal into the blackness of the night

[00:04:09] You'll never know you'll never hear us

[00:04:14] And evening sings in a voice of amber

[00:04:17] The dawn is surely coming

[00:04:21] The morning road leads to Stalingrad

[00:04:24] And the sky is softly humming

[00:04:39] Two broken tigers on fire in the night

[00:04:46] Flicker their souls to the wind

[00:04:51] We wait in the lines for the final approach to begin

[00:04:58] It's been almost four years that I've carried a gun

[00:05:04] At home it will almost be spring

[00:05:10] The flames of the tiger are lighting the road to Berlin

[00:05:18] Suddenly we move through the ruins that bow to the ground

[00:05:24] The old men and children they send out to face us

[00:05:28] They can't slow us down

[00:05:33] And all that I ever

[00:05:36] Was able to see

[00:05:40] The eyes of the city are opening

[00:05:42] Now it's the end of a dream

[00:05:48] Ah ah ah

[00:05:55] Ah ah ah

[00:06:03] Ah ah ah

[00:06:10] Ah ah ah

[00:06:18] I'm coming home I'm coming home

[00:06:19] You can taste it in the wind the war is over

[00:06:25] And I listen to the clicking of the train wheels as

[00:06:28] We roll across the border

[00:06:32] Now they ask me the time

[00:06:34] We were caught behind their lines and taken prisoner

[00:06:40] They only held me for a day a lucky break I say

[00:06:43] They turn and listen closer

[00:06:47] I'll never know I'll never know

[00:06:49] Why I was taken from the line with all the others

[00:06:55] To board a special train

[00:06:56] And journey deep into the heart of holy Russia

[00:07:02] But it's cold and damp in the transit camp

[00:07:06] And the air is still and sullen

[00:07:09] The pale sun of October whispers

[00:07:13] The snow will soon be coming

[00:07:17] I wonder when I'll be home again

[00:07:20] And the morning answers never

[00:07:24] The evening sighs

[00:07:26] And the steely Russian skies go on

[00:07:32] Forever
