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

Written by：Al Stewart[00:00:01]

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Was able to see[00:01:34]

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Was able to see[00:02:49]

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

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

Ah ah ah[00:03:01]

Ah ah ah[00:03:08]

Ah ah ah[00:03:15]

Ah ah ah[00:03:23]

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

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

Like an avenger[00:03:40]

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

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

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

Like a promise[00:03:55]

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Was able to see[00:05:36]

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

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

Ah ah ah[00:05:48]

Ah ah ah[00:05:55]

Ah ah ah[00:06:03]

Ah ah ah[00:06:10]

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

The evening sighs[00:07:24]

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

Forever[00:07:32]
