The Great Highway Lyrics - Renaissance

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
