Night Ride Across the Caucasus Lyrics


Ride on Through the night Ride on
Ride on Through the night Ride onThere are visions, there are memories
There are echoes of thundering hooves
There are fires, there is laughter
There's the sound of a thousand dovesRide on Through the night Ride on
Ride on Through the night Ride onIn the velvet of the darkness
By the silhouette of silent trees
They are watching, they are waiting
They are witnessing life's mysteriesRide on Through the night Ride on
Ride on Through the night Ride onCascading stars on the slumbering hills
They are dancing as far as the sea
Riding o'er the land, you can feel its gentle hand
Leading on to its destinyRide on Through the night Ride on
Ride on Through the night Ride onTake 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 lostFind 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 seaRide on Through the night Ride on
Ride on Through the night Ride onRide on Through the night Ride on
Ride on Through the night Ride on

Enjoy the lyrics !!!
Canadian singer and composer Loreena McKennitt is self-managed, self-produced and head of her own record label - Quinlan Road. In a recording career spanning three decades, McKennitt's “eclectic Celtic” music has won critical acclaim worldwide and gold, platinum and multi-platinum sales awards in fifteen countries across four continents. Her most successful record is 1997's "The Book of Secrets", which spun off the single "The Mummers' Dance", a surprise hit on American Top 40 and alternative rock radio.

McKennitt blends world-music with folk, Celtic and exotic Mediterranean sounds using instruments such as the hurdy gurdy, kanoun, uilleann pipes, Turkish clarinet, bouzouki and nyckelharpa alongside traditional instruments like guitar, drums and bass and the harp, piano and accordion, the three instruments she plays.

Born in Morden, Manitoba, Canada in February 17, 1957, Loreena moved to Stratford, Ontario, Canada in 1981, where she still resides. She has acted and sung in, and composed music for, Stratford Festival of Canada productions ranging from The Tempest (1982) to The Merchant Of Venice (2001).

Her recording career began in 1985 with the album Elemental. In the fledgling years of her label Quinlan Road, Loreena ran its operations from her kitchen table, selling recordings by mail order and producing her own concert tours across the country. Quinlan Road's catalogue is currently distributed around the world by Warner Music (US), Universal Music (Canada and other territories including Italy and Spain) and a number of independents including Keltia Music (France) and SPV (Germany).
