The Clock Ticks On Lyrics


As the wind chimes play along the breeze
Singing songs to stir the soul
Rainbow colors entwined in fairytales
On the maypole
Sing the songs of lands from far away
Other times and another place
The winds can carry us all the 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
Cloak and dagger, no fear of freedom
Hearts beat 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
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
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
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
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
The clock ticks on
The clock ticks on
The clock ticks on
The clock ticks on

Blackmore's Night is an English Renaissance-inspired medieval folk rock band led by UK guitarist Ritchie Blackmore (electric and acoustic guitars) and Candice Night (lyricist and lead vocals).

The origins of the band lie in 1990 when Candice was working at a local New York rock music radio station, and as part of her work first encountered Ritchie (now ex-Deep Purple/Rainbow guitarist), then with Deep Purple, at a soccer game he was playing in. The two became romantically entwined and discovered that they shared a passionate interest in the Renaissance.

After leaving Deep Purple in 1993 and recording an album as Ritchie Blackmore's Rainbow called Stranger in Us All in 1995, on which Candice contributed backing vocals, Ritchie became interested in the idea of bringing Renaissance music to a contemporary audience. The effervescent personality of Candice and her singing talent made her the natural choice as "frontman". In 1997 the pair were ready to launch the band, the name being a pun of their own names, and which would consist of themselves plus session musicians.

Debut album Shadow Of The Moon was an instant success, most notably in Europe. In subsequent albums, particularly Fires at midnight, there was an increased incorporation of rock guitar into the music, whilst maintaining a folk rock direction. Over time, Candice has increasingly participated instrumentally as well as singing the vocals, and is competent in a wide variety of Renaissance instruments.

The group performs at Renaissance Fairs and Renaissance Festivals, as well as in stand-alone concert tours in appropriate venues including 'castle tours' of Europe, where they perform in historic surroundings for an audience dressed largely in period costume. The band has been successful enough to inspire a tribute band called Renaissance Night.

Their 2006 album, Village Lanterne, contains of more rock songs than earlier albums, including covers of Street of Dreams (Rainbow), Child in Time (Deep Purple), St Theresa (Joan Osborne) and Streets of London (Ralph McTell).

On June 27, 2008, the band's latest album, Secret Voyage, was released.
