Loreena Mckennitt - Skellig
O Light The Candle, John The Daylight Has Almost Gone The Bells Call All To Mass The Birds Have Sung Their Last And Sit Here By My Side For The Night Is Very Long Before I Pass Along There's Something I Must Tell I Joined The Brotherhood I Scribed The Words Of God My Books Were All To Me Perched Out Upon The Sea And Much Of History Many A Year Was I The Waves Would Wash My Tears, The Wind, My Memory I'd Hear The Ocean Breathe Exhale Upon The Shore I Knew The Tempest's Blood Its Wrath I Would Endure And So The Years Went By My Friend; I Loved Them Well Within My Rocky Cell With Only A Mouse Or Bird I'd Come Here To Romani And So It Came To Pass And Many A Year It Took Till I Arrived Here With Thee On Dusty Roads I Walked And Over Mountains High Beneath The Endless Sky Through Rivers Running Deep Beneath These Jasmine Flowers Amidst These Cypress Trees I Give You Now My Books And All Their Mysteries Now Take The Hourglass And Turn It On Its Head 'tis Then You'll Find Me Dead For When The Sands Are Still The Daylight Is Almost Gone O Light The Candle, John The Bells Call All To Massthe Birds Have Sung Their Last
