Blackmore's Night - Hanging Tree Lyrics






There have been many tales
Tainted by truth twisted by time...

Some choose to forget
Yet it still
Weaves webs in their minds....

And it seems like she's been here forever
Her branches as black as the seas
She's been through it all
By the luck of the draw
She became the old hanging tree...

She asked for nothing
Except maybe
A little rain...
They used her strenght
To help them steal lives away...

And she witnessed the sadness and sorrow
To this day she still doesn't know why
And her heart broke
When they came with the rope
To declare her the old hanging tree...

Life stranger than fiction
Can make you want to cry
Roots could never stop her
From reaching for the sky...
Those years have all past
Lucky for us lucky for her...
Now, children play at her feet
And in her arms she cradles birds...
And it seems she's been here forever
These days are the best that she's seen
But somewhere in the back
Of her mind
Is the time
She was known as the old hanging tree...

    Edward Compter! Are you also from Manitoba? Following is a short vid of myself from 2 weeks ago at the Metropolitan Theatre. I can definitely see some similarities with your cousin...man, what a self-made, homegrown success story she has!



    BTW, Candice' vibrato is fantastic and I love the shots of Neuschwanstein Castle...was there in 2011 and it was a sight to behold. The three structures I had wanted to see since childhood were the Roman Coliseum, the Sagrada de Familia (Barcelona), and this castle. Now, Lord, you can take me whenever you like!

    The older I get the more I appreciate Ritchie Blackmore. I had not heard of Blackmore's Night until I looked him up on Wiki P. I have always loved rock infused with classical and when I read about this band I got excited. Hearing two of their songs so far I will be buying a lot of their music. They will no doubt become my new favourite band, usurping another act in a completely different genre called "Hillbilly Moon Explosion". Personally, though I have never had a lesson, I switch between gigging/playing heavy rock and classical guitar; this seems to bridge that gap. His wife is a great and photogenic singer as well.

    I've never seen such a horrible vid for a song as beautiful as this one..

  19. T.... L....

    I don't know if you read the comments, but you a a very nice singer Candice. I didn't even know about you and your band until recently. And I'm glad I found out.

  20. I.... E....

    This came up on my YouTube recommended feed, thank you YouTube because this is absolutely stunning......

  21. T.... I....

    One of my favorite blackmores night songs. In fact it inspired me to write a script about it. Still a work in progress.

  22. N.... S....

  26. A.... V....

    Great song, great perspective, great video...

  27. B.... ....

    Well that was an acid trip of a video. Cool song though, or at least I think it was, I was kinda distracted.

  28. 3.... ....

    I love Blackmores Night and Candice...been a fan for about 15 yrs..but why is there no info on how many people are subscribed on this channel.?...makes me eager for an answer on why this is...makes me apprehensive about being on this channel as it is the only channel I subscribe to,out of many, that doesn't announce the amount of subs...too bad ..seems very mysterious......maybe the administrators of this channel are unwilling to start with a low subscription total and build the site up...which is sad because Blackmores Night and Candice deserve a lot of attention and views for the music they have created together in the last couple of decades..music ,I and my family adore..but not showing the subs that this channel has gained is a turn off...mainly because it has an air of trickery about it..just not normal..sorry...I want to clarify..I love everything BN and Candice do..but the way this site is being run is wrong...show your subscription numbers...thanks

    What a sensitive, insightful concept, to look at what humans do to humans, from the perspective of a conscious part of the natural world.
