We made tracks for the Great Highway
|
In the night the storm had calmed
|
Obscurely, they just stood by
|
Not a trace was left there now
|
No single sign to show they'd ever been
|
Disappeared like a breath of wind
|
Wrung my hands in a silent cry
|
You held my head, I couldn't speak
|
In that place called the Great Highway
|
Light above us the earth beneath
|
|
[Chorus:]
|
Sister
|
I'm fainting in the storm
|
Hold me fast
|
While the horseman pass
|
Sister, I feel their burning hearts
|
Carry me away
|
|
Took them down to the Great Highway
|
In a night that was raging fast
|
Questioned, as others lied
|
Destined to be the last
|
Their thoughts scattered to the wind
|
The blood of a thousand tribes
|
We had promised to be steadfast
|
To the things that they believed in
|
In that place called the Great Highway
|
Not a word we could ever say
|
|
[Chorus]
|
|
[Instrumental]
|
|
[Chorus 2x]
|
|
Solitude
|
Of the lonely hunter
|
On the Great Highway
|
In the light
|
Voices of the silenced
|
On the Great Highway
|
