"The Clock Ticks On" lyrics - BLACKMORE'S NIGHT

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 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

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

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...
