"A good traveller has no fixed plans, and is not intent on arriving."

night ride across the caucasus

Ride on - Through the night - Ride on
Ride on - Through the night - Ride on

There are visions, there are memories
There are echoes of thundering hooves
There are fires, there is laughter
There's the sound of a thousand voices

Ride on - Through the night - Ride on
Ride on - Through the night - Ride on

In the velvet of the darkness
By the silhouette of silent trees
They are watching, they are waiting
They are witnessing life's mysteries

Ride on - Through the night - Ride on
Ride on - Through the night - Ride on

Cascading stars on the slumbering hills
They are dancing as far as the sea
Riding o'er land, you can feel its gentle hand
Leading on to its destiny

Ride on - Through the night - Ride on
Ride on - Through the night - Ride on

Take me with you on this journey
Where the boundaries of time are now tossed
In cathedrals of the forest
In the words of the tongues now lost

Find the answers, ask the questions
Find the roots of an ancient tree
Take me dancing, take me singing
I'll ride on till the moon meets the sea

Ride on - Through the night - Ride on
Ride on - Through the night - Ride on

Ride on - Through the night - Ride on
Ride on - Through the night - Ride on
