The Road Goes Ever On Lyrics - Singles - Nattvindens Grat

A day of spring in ancient times 

A rider so eager and proud 

Riding the way the eagles fly 

The road in misty shroud 

In search for answers that must be there 

To solve nature's mystiries 

To find out why he is there 

All secret to find and see 

Night fell over the day 

In dark woods - flames! 

Four old men sat around a fire 

Skyline reflected flames 

Telling stories of days passing by 

The rider saw their shades in haze 

He rode saw to them and told his aim 

The old men listened thoughtful on 

"Young man listen to what they say 

the road goes ever on" 

The rider heard their tales 

How one sees his fate by a glance 

Once in a century that night comes 

The night the skyfires dance 

Night fell over the day 

In the dark woods - flames! 

Four old men sat around a fire 

Skyline reflected flames 

Telling stories of days passing by 

The rider saw their shades in haze 

He rode saw to them and told his aim 

The old men listened thoughtful on 

"Young man listen to what they say 

the road goes ever on" 

"Take thy horse and ride up to the Windhills 

There is a lady who helped thee on thy way" 

So the rider left to ride with the westwind 

Horizon was red - there dawned a new day
