The Clock Ticks On

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...
