Текст песни:

The valley green was so serene
In the middle ran a stream so blue
A maiden fair
In despair
Once had met her true love there
And she told him
She would say

Promise me
When you see
A white rose you′ll think of me
I love you so never let go
I will be your ghost of a rose

Her eyes believed
In mysteries
She would lay amongst the leaves of amber
Her spirit wild
Heart of a child
Yet gentle still, quiet and mild
And he loved her
When she would say

Promise me
When you see
A white rose you′ll think of me
I love you so never let go
I will be your ghost of a rose...
I will be your ghost of a rose...

When all was done
She turned to run
And danced into the setting sun
As he watched her
And ever more
He thought he saw
A glimpse of her upon the moors forever
He′d hear her say

Promise me
When you see
A white rose you′ll think of me
I love you so never let go
I will be your ghost of a rose...

Promise me
When you see
A white rose you′ll think of me
I love you so never let go
I will be your ghost of a rose...

Ghost of a rose...
Ghost of a rose...

Текст песни:

Alas my love, ye do me wrong to cast me out discourteously,
And I have loved you for so long delighting in your company...
Greensleeves was all my joy,
Greensleeves was my delight,
Greensleeves was my heart of gold,
And who but Lady Greensleeves...

Текст песни:

I′ve been many places
I′ve traveled ′round the world
Always on the search for something new
But what does it matter
When all the roads I′ve crossed
Always seem to reback to your

Old familiar faces
Everyone you meet
Following the ways of the land
Cobblestones and lanterns
Lining every street
Calling me to come home again

Dancing in the moonlight
Singing in the rain
Oh, it′s good to be back home again
Laughing in the sunlight
Running down the lane
Oh, it′s good to be back home again

When you play with fire
Sometimes you get burned
It happens when you take a chance or two
But time is never wasted
When you′ve lived and learned
And in time, it all comes back to your

And when I got weary
I′d sit a while and rest
Memories invading my mind
All the things I′d treasured
The ones I′d loved the best
Were the things that I′d left behind

@ Blackmore′s Night

Текст песни:

My diamond?s clouded over where it used to shine like light,
And the day keeps running faster,
Into the arms of night...
The stiches on the tapestry say,
Everything in time,
Will find it?s way home again,
But I?m tired of crying...
No Second Chances
Don?t knock on my door
There won?t be any answer
I won?t be here no more...
This house we had together
Might still be in its place
But the rest of this is much too hard to face,
There?ll be No Second Chance...
Lovely moonlit hours we spent
Walking on the beach,
We?d gaze up all the stars,
I swear they were in our reach...
But time... it went on,
Minutes... they ran too fast.
Like you they were gone...
Into the past...

Текст песни:

The past is so familiar
But that′s why you couldn′t stay
Too many ghosts, too many haunted dreams
Beside you were built to find your own way...
But after all these years, I thought we′d still hold on
But when I reach for you and search your eyes
I see you′ve already gone...
That′s OK
I′ll be fine
I′ve got myself, I′ll heal in time
But when you leave just remember what we had...
There′s more to life than just you
I may cry but I′ll make it through
And I know that the sun will shine again
Though I may think of you now and then...
Can′t do a thing with ashes
But throw them to the wind...
Though this heart may be in pieces now
You know I′ll build it up again and
I′ll come back stronger than I ever did before
Just don′t turn around when you walk out that door...
That′s OK
I′ll be fine
I′ve got myself, I′ll heal in time
And even though our stories at the end
I still may think of you now and then...

Текст песни:

Tried to take it all away,
Learn her freedom... just inside a day,
And find her soul to find there fears are laid...
Tried to make her love their own,
They took her love... they left her there,
They gave her nothing back that she would want to own...Gold and silver rings and stones,
Dances slowly off the moon,
No one else could know, she stands alone...
Sleeping dreams will reach for her,
She can not say the words they need,
She knows she′s alone and she is free...Ocean Gypsy of the moon,
The sun has made a thousand nights for you to hold...
Ocean Gypsy where are you?
The shadows followed by the stars have turned to gold...
Turned to gold...Then she met a hollow soul,
Filled him with her light and was consoled,
She was the moon and he the sun was gold...
Eyes were blinded with his light...
The sun he gave reflected back the night
The moon was waning, almost out of sight...Softly Ocean Gypsy calls...
Silence holds the stars a while,
They smile sadly for her where she falls...
Just the time before the dawn,
The sea is hushed the ocean calls her,
Day has taken her and now she′s gone...No one noticed when she died,
Ocean Gypsy shackled to the tide,
The ebbing waves, the turning spreading white...
Something gone within her eyes,
Her fingers, lifeless, stroked the sand,
Her battered soul was lost,
She was abandoned...Silken threads like wings still shine,
Wind swept pleasures still make patterns in her lovely hair... so dark and fine...
Stands on high beneath the seas, cries no more, her tears have dried...
Ocean weep for her, the ocean sighs...

Текст песни:

In the shadow of the moon,
She danced in the starlight
Whispering a haunting tune
To the night...

Velvet skirts spun ′round and ′round
Fire in her stare
In the woods without a sound
No one cared...
Through the darkened fields entranced,
Music made her poor heart dance,
Thinking of a lost romance...
Long ago...

Feeling lonely, feeling sad,
She cried in the moonlight.
Driven by a world gone mad
She took flight...

"Feel no sorrow, feel no pain,
Feel no hurt, there′s nothing gained...
Only love will then remain,
She would say.

Shadow of the Moon, Shadow of the Moon...
Shadow of the Moon, Shadow of the Moon...

Through the darkened fields entranced,
Music made her poor heart dance,
Thinking of a lost romance...
Long ago...

Somewhere just beyond the mist
Spirits were seen flying
As the lightning led her way
Through the dark...

In the shadow of the moon,
She danced in the starlight
Whispering a haunting tune
To the night...

Shadow of the Moon, Shadow of the Moon...
Shadow of the Moon, Shadow of the Moon...
Shadow of the Moon, Shadow of the Moon...
Shadow of the Moon, Shadow of the Moon...
Shadow of the Moon, Shadow of the Moon...
Shadow of the Moon, Shadow of the Moon...

Текст песни:

Wish you were here
me oh my countryman
wish you where hereWish you were here
don′t you know the stove is
getting colder
and i miss you like hell
and i′m feeling blueI′ve got feelings for you babe
do you still feel the same
from the first time i laid my
eyes on you
i felt joy of living
i saw heaven in your eyes in
your eyesI miss your laugh i miss
your smile
i miss everything about you
every second′s like a minute
every minute′s like a day
when you′re far awayWish you were here
the stove is getting colder baby
wish you were here
a battlefield of love and fear

Текст песни:

Writing On The Wall

Is it powers of intuition?
Is it insecurity?
You know I can read your mind and
You have been deceiving me...

Which face wears the masque this evening?
When will your true colours show?
Will they be as black as shadows
Hiding hearth the rainbow...

Had my heart on a silver chain
With the words engraved
"I loved you"...
Like a swan that was lost at sea
I lost all of me
To you...
Now I see the writing on the wall...

Paranoia or perception?
Put your faith in a liar′s hands
Wanting to believe his words
But never knowing where he stands...

Had my heart on a silver chain
With the words engraved
"I loved you"...
Like a swan that was lost at sea
I lost all of me
To you...
Now I see the writing on the wall...

There′s too many misconceptions
In this game of consequence
When you′re finding that you hero
Is just who you′re up against...

Had my heart on a silver chain
With the words engraved
"I loved you"...
Like a swan that was lost at sea
I lost all of me
To you...
Now I see the writing on the wall...
