figures stagger through the winter

standing in the wings like an avenger

partisans are stirring in the forest

Coming unexpectedly upon their outposts,
E
growing like a promise
Abm
You'll never know, you'll never know which way to turn,

which way to look you'll never see us
Abm
As we're stealing through the

blackness of the night

You'll never know, you'll never hear us

the dawn is surely coming

the sky is softly humming

home,

now you can taste it in the wind, the war is over

as as we roll across the border

behind their lines and taken prisoner

a lucky break," I say they turn and listen closer

I was taken from the line and all the others

To board a special train and journey
Gb

deep into the heart of holy Russia

And it's cold and damp in the transit camp,
Eb

And the pale sun of October whispers

the snow will soon be coming

And I wonder when I'll be home again
Eb
E
and the morning answers "Never"
Gb
And the evening sighs,
E
Eb
and the steely Russian skies go on forever
