[00:00:36] Roads To Moscow (Live)(2005 Digital Remaster)-Al Stewart

[00:00:59] Roads to Moscow

[00:01:08] They crossed over the border the hour before dawn

[00:01:15] Moving in lines through the day

[00:01:21] Most of our planes were destroyed on the ground where they lay

[00:01:28] Waiting for orders we held in the wood -word from the front never came

[00:01:40] By evening the sound of the gunfire was miles away

[00:01:49] Ah, softly we move through the shadows, slip away through the trees

[00:01:56] Crossing their lines in the mists in the fields on our hands and our knees

[00:02:04] And all that I ever was able to see

[00:02:11] The fire in the air glowing red silhouetting the smoke on the breeze

[00:02:27] All summer they drove us back through the Ukraine

[00:02:34] Smolensk and Viasma soon fell

[00:02:40] By autumn we stood with our backs to the town of Orel

[00:02:48] Closer and closer to Moscow they came -riding the wind like a bell

[00:03:00] General Guderian stands at the crest of the hill

[00:03:07] Winter brought with her the rains, oceans of mud filled the roads

[00:03:15] Gluing the tracks of their tanks to the ground while the sky filled with snow

[00:03:23] And all that I ever was able to see

[00:03:31] The fire in the air glowing red silhouetting the snow on the breeze

[00:04:10] In the footsteps of Napoleon the shadow figures stagger through the winter

[00:04:18] Falling back before the gates of Moscow,

[00:04:20] Standing in the wings like an avenger

[00:04:26] And far away behind their lines the partisans are stirring in the forest

[00:04:34] Coming unexpectedly upon their outposts, growing like a promise

[00:04:40] You'll never know, you'll never know

[00:04:42] Which way to turn, which way to look, you'll never see us

[00:04:48] As we're stealing through the blackness of the night,

[00:04:51] You'll never know, you'll never hear us

[00:04:56] And the evening sings in a voice of amber, the dawn is surely coming

[00:05:04] The morning roads leads to Stalingrad, and the sky is softly humming

[00:05:23] Two broken Tigers on fire in the night flicker their souls to the wind

[00:05:35] We wait in the lines for the final approach to begin

[00:05:42] It's been almost four years that I've carried a gun

[00:05:48] At home it will almost be spring

[00:05:51] The flames of the Tigers are lighting the road to Berlin

[00:05:58] Ah, quickly we move through the ruins that bow to the ground

[00:06:09] The old men and children they send out to face us, they can't slow us down

[00:06:18] And all that I ever was able to see

[00:06:25] The eyes of the city are opening now it's the end of the dream

[00:06:35] I'm coming home, I'm coming home,

[00:07:06] Now you can taste it in the wind, the war is over

[00:07:09] And I listen to the clicking of the train wheels as we roll across the border

[00:07:17] And now they ask me of the time

[00:07:21] When I was caught behind their lines and taken prisoner

[00:07:27] "They only held me for a day, a lucky break", I say;

[00:07:30] They turn and listen closer

[00:07:34] I'll never know, I'll never know

[00:07:36] Why I was taken from the line and all the others

[00:07:42] To board a special train and journey deep into the heart of holy Russia

[00:07:50] And it's cold and damp in the transit camp, and the air is still and sullen

[00:07:56] And the pale sun of October whispers the snow will soon be coming

[00:08:05] And I wonder when I'll be home again and the morning answers "Never"

[00:08:11] And the evening sighs and the steely Russian skies go on forever
