| [00:00.00] | Loreena McKennitt - Skellig |
| [01:10.32] | |
| [01:20.32] | O light the candle, John |
| [01:24.55] | The daylight has almost gone |
| [01:28.82] | The birds have sung their last |
| [01:32.95] | The bells call all to mass |
| [01:36.25] | |
| [01:37.34] | Sit here by my side |
| [01:41.25] | For the night is very long |
| [01:45.79] | There's something I must tell |
| [01:50.09] | Before I pass along |
| [01:53.38] | |
| [01:56.55] | I joined the brotherhood |
| [02:00.71] | My books were all to me |
| [02:05.01] | I scribed the words of God |
| [02:09.28] | And much of history |
| [02:12.85] | |
| [02:13.76] | Many a year was I |
| [02:17.73] | Perched out upon the sea |
| [02:22.12] | The waves would wash my tears, |
| [02:26.70] | The wind, my memory |
| [02:30.17] | |
| [02:33.16] | I'd hear the ocean breathe |
| [02:37.45] | Exhale upon the shore |
| [02:41.68] | I knew the tempest's blood |
| [02:46.01] | Its wrath I would endure |
| [02:49.70] | |
| [02:50.43] | And so the years went by |
| [02:54.82] | Within my rocky cell |
| [02:59.18] | With only a mouse or bird |
| [03:03.48] | My friend; I loved them well |
| [03:06.76] | |
| [03:10.08] | And so it came to pass |
| [03:14.02] | I'd come here to Romani |
| [03:18.38] | And many a year it took |
| [03:22.43] | Till I arrived here with thee |
| [03:26.50] | |
| [03:27.04] | On dusty roads I walked |
| [03:31.36] | And over mountains high |
| [03:35.62] | Through rivers running deep |
| [03:39.97] | Beneath the endless sky |
| [03:43.96] | |
| [04:23.08] | Beneath these jasmine flowers |
| [04:27.37] | Amidst these cypress trees |
| [04:31.76] | I give you now my books |
| [04:36.19] | And all their mysteries |
| [04:39.72] | |
| [04:40.64] | Now take the hourglass |
| [04:45.06] | And turn it on its head |
| [04:49.37] | For when the sands are still |
| [04:53.61] | 'Tis then you'll find me dead |
| [04:57.42] | |
| [04:58.06] | O light the candle, John |
| [05:02.32] | The daylight is almost gone |
| [05:06.77] | The birds have sung their last |
| [05:11.22] | The bells call all to mass |
| [05:15.89] |
