[00:46.72] O light the candle, John
[01:24.84] The daylight has almost gone
[01:29.23] The birds have sung their last
[01:33.34] The bells call all to mass
[01:37.62] Sit here by my side
[01:41.71] For the night is very long
[01:46.20] There's something I must tell
[01:50.54] Before I pass along
[01:54.85] I joined the brotherhood
[02:00.98] My books were all to me
[02:05.54] I scribed the words of God
[02:09.84] And much of history
[02:14.14] Many a year was I
[02:18.25] Perched out upon the sea
[02:22.86] The waves would wash my tears,
[02:27.25] The wind, my memory
[02:34.25] I'd hear the ocean breathe
[02:38.07] Exhale upon the shore
[02:42.32] I knew the tempest's blood
[02:46.79] Its wrath I would endure
[02:51.20] And so the years went by
[02:55.62] Within my rocky cell
[03:00.00] With only a mouse or bird
[03:03.87] My friend; I loved them well
[03:10.95] And so it came to pass
[03:14.54] I'd come here to Romani
[03:19.37] And many a year it took
[03:23.26] Till I arrived here with thee
[03:27.96] On dusty roads I walked
[03:32.29] And over mountains high
[03:36.59] Through rivers running deep
[03:40.77] Beneath the endless sky
[04:24.97] Beneath these jasmine flowers
[04:28.76] Amidst these cypress trees
[04:32.99] I give you now my books
[04:37.48] And all their mysteries
[04:41.92] Now take the hourglass
[04:46.39] And turn it on its head
[04:50.75] For when the sands are still
[04:54.33] 'Tis then you'll find me dead
[04:59.38] O light the candle, John
[05:03.45] The daylight is almost gone
[05:08.10] The birds have sung their last
[05:12.10] The bells call all to mass
