The Road Goes Ever On

Nattvindens Gråt


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
