Blackmore's Night - Ghost Of A Rose Lyrics






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 and 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..."

When all was done, she turned to run
Dancing to 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..."

Blackmore's Night Ghost Of A Rose Comments
  1. n.... r....

    Masterpiece!!

  2. R.... K....

    This song feels like Saturn day, when the morons at all government offiCes are only half there, and working, self serving, themselves at THE MINT, printing their own funding bills, which is the hiddean, real, and true meaning of 'introducing a new bill' into congressional seating.
    I listen to this music while sleeping as well as while 'daydreaming', aka, reflection of my true spiritual life in present, past, and future', as all 3 are is the same realm of time, while awake in the mind. It erases all of the stains of bad dreams and converts them into positive ones by the feel of Ritchie's presence. I awake with a very beautiful feeling, which only affects true and benevolent spirits/souls this way. Evil spirits need not apply as the sound waves of such, will carry you away to strange places of whence you came, including Candice, where she belongs and travels as well.
    When Ritchie speaks of Candice, as is the case he does with all morons, it is hilarious and so magical. Ritchie makes Satan scream and roll over with laughter, on this subject, and every very pretentious thought of and about her.

  3. B.... G....

    I love this song Candice is such great singer. it takes to a great place in my mind.

  4. M.... S....

    Bana bu sarkiyi dogukan isimli bir cocuk onermisti, simdi onu bulamiyorum ne kadar aci :(

  5. C.... ....

    these lines....


    When all was done, she turned to run
    Dancing to the setting sun as he watched her
    And ever more he thought he saw
    A glimpse of her upon the moors forever
    these lines confuse me a little


    is it her ghost that dances off?
    does she leave because she has to and he misses her so he believes he sees her on the moors?
    ?????

  6. H.... W....

    Candice;s voice gives me goose bumps. I really like her voice and the group !!

    'Under a violet moon' a is a very funny song. And 'Ghost of a rose' remembers me a turkish soap opera.

  18. U.... ....

    I can't not think of Frances and Joan when I hear this.

  19. J.... K....

    How comes the nigthcore version of this is worse than the original , yet it has 8x times more watch?

  20. K.... D....

    Beautiful haunting melody.

  21. D.... K....

    Love the lyrics and music. Your songs so touch the deep parts of the heart.

  22. A.... N....

    With a friend of mine, I'm working on the first book in a sci-fi novel series set in 1920s France. This song's title and the lyrics' implication of a doomed romance were so evocative they both made me wonder what a "ghost of a rose" would look like. And so, I'm writing it into the book, as the creation of two painters in my tale who are both artistic partners and lovers. Thanks for the inspiration and blessed be. )O(

  23. M.... E....

    The first song that i hear from medieval celtic metal. Seem yesterday 😍 🤘🏾🐺🤘🏾

    Unforgettable Live Concert April 20, 2007 Belgrade Serbia.
    .

  41. J.... C....

    This is a really incredible song. Too bad we live in the age of hip-hop. It'll never get it's due.

    J.... C....

    Hey man, could you like not shit on other genres of music, some people need different music.

  42. E.... X....

    Did anyone else get Henry 7th and Elizabeth of York vibes? Or was it just me

    E.... X....

    @Elizabeth XOX Hey. (That’s my nod to your American connection.) First of all, thanks for taking up the request. I didn’t think you would because I was taking a bit of a liberty in making it. Secondly, sorry if I opened up old wounds with the name question. It’s easily done and another reminder that we should be careful about what questions we ask strangers. Thirdly, your grammar and syntax went completely out of the window in the middle part of your reply. The rest was fine, and that’s intriguing. But I can’t think of a nice way of asking whether there’s a reason for it. Fourthly (why didn’t I just use bullet points?) you now have me curious as to why somebody living ‘in the south of the UK’ should have family in America. That’s unusual. Did they emigrate there, or were you born in the USA and got left behind when the folks did a Europe trip? But the really big one:

    Singing the peace song while holding a stuffed bear. That’s impressive. It marks you out as a bit of an odd one – the sort who doesn’t go along with society’s norms because societies are usually run by ageing male psychopaths. In my experience, they’re the sort who have the best credentials for being here. They’re usually the nicest people and I generally get on with them (and I don’t get on with most people.)

    If you don’t want to continue this correspondence, that’s fine. If you do, try proof-reading your comment before posting it. And incidentally, I have three stuffed bears and a concrete one in the garden. I’ll tell you their names if you really want to know.

    E.... X....

    JJBushfan no I was not left be hide 😂 they moved there and it’s ok it feels better talking about her. And if you ask anyone of my friends I am a odd.

    E.... X....

    @Elizabeth XOX OK, send your friends up to deepest Derbyshire and they can give me the full picture. And if you want to talk about Elizabeth, you can do so knowing you will have at least one listener.

    E.... X....

    JJBushfan ok, thank you

    E.... X....

    This gives me some Game of Thrones vibes. Sorry but I can't picture Henry and Elizabeth happily together becauser King Henry was a fucking douche.

  43. Z.... B....

    Genius of Richie Blackmore is awesome.

  44. s.... 2....

    Why is the nightcore version more popular?

    s.... 2....

    whattt =)))))))))))))))

    s.... 2....

    It’s pretty good but this is the original and the best!

    s.... 2....

    Because weebs?

  45. K.... K....

    как то хороший клип на эту песню в инете попался из сериала "Робин из Шервуда" )))

  46. B.... ....

    This should have a million subs!

  47. J.... ....

    Mereciste tener mejor vida, pero no la tuviste. D.E.P. madre 🌹

  48. T.... ....

    Is there any karaoke version? I would absolutly love to here the instrumental of this song!

  49. K.... T....

    I’ve finally brought myself to listen to this song on iTunes (because of anxiety I was actually a little worried something bad might actually happen... I really hope does though since it’s the day before Christmas Eve 😅) This is a very lovely song and the singers voice is very beautiful. These guys are actually almost like Dervish except they don’t sing a lot of catchy Irish songs.

  50. L.... K....

    ♥️♥️♥️
    ♥️♥️♥️
    ♥️♥️♥️

  51. J.... ....

    The melody that introduces the refrain is lifted straight out of Elgar's Cello Concerto. It drove me half insane trying to remember where I'd heard it before.

    J.... ....

    JJBushfan because it is the tribute to cellist Jacqueline Du Pre

    JJBushfan it is because the tune is a tribute to cellist Jacqueline Du Pre

    �.... ....

    @みかつき kár pedig tényleg nagyon szép :c

  92. C.... E....

    I think of the book Uprooted when I hear this song...

  93. m.... ....

    Beautiful song♪

  94. G.... W....

    Very nice. But it would also like to have video. Either the live performance or pictures that illustrate the words.

    G.... W....

    its called imagination.. just build the image in your head :)

    G.... W....

    EightBallAutobody - Now now, don't you prefer to actually see Candace Night than to just imagine her.

    gwardell2
    No, imagine
    When you have a picture, you can't let your creativity play
    Actually, I love it to let my creativity play like a child ^^

  95. D.... U....

    Fantastic music(ians) ...

  96. W.... ....

    un clásico

  97. L.... l....

    Kinda sound like Edward Elgar's Cello Concerto in E minor, Op. 85

  98. B.... C....

    This song is one of my favourites, it's sad but at the same time is a romantic ballad. When I listen to it I imagine a blonde girl with her pale skin, who holds a white rose and say to her lover "remember me I am your white rose and every white rose you will see you will think about me and our love"

    B.... C....

    It's one of the best songs ever ... by the way .. you described it very well !!

    B.... C....

    I imagine a lovers tryst turned violent, bodies hidden by moonlight, and a mans slow slip into a regretful insanity... to each their own.

    B.... C....

    I had a kind of grimmer approach. I thought it's about a girl who's dying in the arms of her lover as she speaks these words in the chorus.

    B.... C....

    Lol, that blonde girl could Candice herself talking to Ritchie Blackmore.
