Blackmore's Night

Village On The Sand

I saw three ships a-sailing in from across the sea
Strangers nere were welcome but for curiosity
But come they did and when they did ready they did stand
And things would never be the same
In our village on the sand
When the ships pulled in to dock the villagers did hide
When trouble came it usually was brought upon the tide
When the pirates disembarked they were making plans
And from then on things were not the same
In our village on the sand
The smugglers cam into your town and many sought to run
I stood my ground bravely and came face to face with one
Time and travel on the seas weathered face and hand
He was different than the others in
My village on the sand
He told me of the years hed spent on the stormy seas
Then he spoke of a poets words of philosophy
And when he had to leave again he asked me for my hand
And I knew that Id never see again
My village on the sand

Waiting Just For You

They say that its always darkest right before the dawn
They say that I must be strong just to carry on
But they dont know that I would wait my whole lifetime through
Because you know, my love, that Id be waiting just for you
There you stood, amazing shining for the whole world to see
And I knew an angel had been sent to watch over me
So Ill be here waiting, hoping, dreaming, loving you
Because I know, my love, that you do love me too

Way To Mandalay

I wandered down the pathway, through the misty moor
Like I knew he did a thousand times before
Voices seem to echo "Come talk with me a while
Just around the corner, just another mile..."
I had heard the stories, her legend served her well
A mystic's myth or fable, truth or fairy tale
A raggle taggle gypsy , with a toothless smile
Said "Sit with me my darling, let's talk a little while..."
*And the road goes on, seeming ever longer on the Way to Mandalay
And the road goes on, forever will I wander on the Way to Mandalay...
The mile went on forever, the minutes turned to days
Could I have been misguided by the mystic's ways?
The moment lasts forever, at least it does for me
Caught between what happened and what could never be...

Where Are We Going From Here

On a long road, miles to go
Its winding and cold and its covered with snow
But I ask you what we all want to know
Where are we going from here...
Lines on my face , lines on my hands
Lead to a future I don't understand
Some things don't go as they're planned...
Where are we going from here...
Tracing the trails through the mirrors of time
Spinning in circles with riddles in rhyme
We lose our way, tryingto find
Searching to find our way home...
Trying to find our way home...
As the day dies, with tears in our eyes
There's too few hellos and too many goodbyes
Silence answers our cries...where are we going from here...
We're all on this road, with miles to go
Braving new pathways into the unknown
But who do you ask, when no one really knows
Where we are going from here...

Wind In The Willows

As I went a walking
One morning in Spring
I met with some travelers
On an old country lane
One was an old man
The second a maid
The third was a young boy who smiled as he said
With the wind in the willows
The birds in the sky
There's a bright sun to warm us wherever we lie...
We have bread and fishes and a jug of red wine
To share on our journey with all of mankind.
So I asked them to tell me their names and their race
So I could remember each smile on their face
Our names, they mean nothing...
They change throughout time
So come sit beside us and share in our wine
With the wind in the willows
The birds in the sky
There's a bright sun to warm us wherever we lie...
We have bread and fishes and a jug of red wine
To share on our journey with all of mankind.
So I sat down beside them
With flowers all around
We et from a mantle
Spread out on the ground
They told me of prophets
And peoples and kings
And all of the one god that knows everything
We're traveling to Glaston
Over England's green lanes
To hear of men's troubles
To hear of their pains
We travel the wide world
Over land and the sea
To tell all the people
How they can be free...
With the wind in the willows
The birds in the sky
There's a bright sun to warm us wherever we lie...
We have bread and fishes and a jug of red wine
To share on our journey with all of mankind.
So sadly I left them
On that old country lane
For I knew that I'd never see them again
One was an old man
The second a maid
The third was a young boy who smiled as he said...
With the wind in the willows
The birds in the sky
There's a bright sun to warm us wherever we lie...
We have bread and fishes and a jug of red wine
To share on our journey with all of mankind.

Writing On The Wall

Is it power 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 'neath 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...
There's too many misconceptions
In this game of consequence
When you're finding that your hero
Is just who you're up against

Written In The Stars

Once written in the stars
A pathway set in stone
A candle in the night
To guide your way back home
Then somewhere in your memory
Calling from afar
It's daring you to see
What it is that's written in the stars...
You said that you would stay
And that you'd never leave
I gave you all I had
When I chose to believe
Love like magic casts a spell
Sometimes leaving scars
I guess it's just as well
Not to know what's written in the stars...
Still written in the stars
And written in your eyes
The prophecy fulfills
The dream that never dies
A shooting star lights up the sky
While the earth stands still
And sojmehow we lose sight
While following what's written in the stars...
I want to know what's written in the stars...
Please tell me what is written in the stars...

Wish You Were Here

Wish you were here...
Me, oh, my countryman,
Wish you were here...
I wish you were here...
Don't you know, the snow is getting colder,
And I miss you like hell,
And I'm feeling blue...
I've got feelings for you,
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 eyes...
Wish you were here,
Me, oh, my countryman,
Wish you were here...
I wish you were here...
Don't you know, the snow is getting colder,
And I miss you like hell...
And I'm feeling blue...
I 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 away...
The snow is getting colder, baby,
And I wish you were here...
A battlefield of love and fear,
And I wish you were here...
I've got feelings for you,
From the first time I laid my eyes on you...
