[00:00:00] Skellig - Celticana

[00:00:01] Composed by：Lorenna McKennit

[00:00:17] O light the candle John

[00:00:22] The daylight has almost gone

[00:00:26] The birds have sung their last

[00:00:31] The bells call all to mass

[00:00:35] Sit here by my side

[00:00:39] For the night is very long

[00:00:44] There's something I must tell

[00:00:48] Before I pass along

[00:00:55] I joined the brotherhood

[00:00:59] My books were all to me

[00:01:04] I scribed the words of God

[00:01:08] And much of history

[00:01:13] Many a year was I

[00:01:17] Perched out upon the sea

[00:01:21] The waves would wash my tears

[00:01:26] The wind my memory

[00:01:32] I'd hear the ocean breathe

[00:01:37] Exhale upon the shore

[00:01:41] I knew the tempest's blood

[00:01:45] It's wrath I would endure

[00:01:50] And so the years went by

[00:01:54] Within my rocky cell

[00:01:58] With only a mouse or bird

[00:02:02] My friend I loved them well

[00:02:09] And so it came to pass

[00:02:13] I'd come here to Romani

[00:02:18] And many a year it took

[00:02:22] Till I arrived here with thee

[00:02:26] On dusty roads I walked

[00:02:30] And over mountains high

[00:02:35] Through rivers running deep

[00:02:39] Beneath the endless sky

[00:03:21] Beneath these jasmine flowers

[00:03:25] Amidst these cypress trees

[00:03:29] I give you now my books

[00:03:33] And all their mysteries

[00:03:37] So take the hourglass

[00:03:41] And turn it on it's head

[00:03:46] For when the sands are still

[00:03:50] 'Tis then you'll find me dead

[00:03:54] O light the candle John

[00:03:58] Daylight is almost gone

[00:04:02] The birds have sung their last

[00:04:06] The bells call all to mass
