The Clock Ticks On

Album: Shadow of the Moon (1997)

  • As the wind chimes play along the breeze
    Singing songs to stir the soul
    Rainbow colours entwined in fairytales
    On the maypole
    Sing the song of lands from far away
    Other times and another place
    The wind can carry us all away from here

    Charmed in her embrace
    Leaves turn to red, the nights are getting colder
    Seasons will change, the clock ticks on
    Leaves fill the trees as the days are getting warmer
    Days turn to years, the clock ticks on
    A cloak and dagger, no fear of freedom
    When hearts heat in another time
    Ever changing, the clock ticks on

    If only in your mind
    The wind has died and the chimes are still again
    The trees stand tall as they cover me in shade
    In the mirror a maiden stares at me
    As the secret fades
    And though the clock ticks on to the future
    It's in the past my heart will stay
    In a time so far away from me
    I'll return someday Writer/s: CANDICE NIGHT, RITCHIE BLACKMORE
