The Great Highway

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



Repeat chorus



Instrumental



Repeat chorus twice



Solitude

Of the lonely hunter

On the great highway

In the light

Voices of the silenced

On the great highway
