《Skellig》歌词

[00:00:00] Skellig (斯凯里格岛) - Various Artists (欧美群星)

[00:00:49] O light the candle john

[00:00:53] The daylight has almost gone

[00:00:58] The birds have sung their last

[00:01:02] The bells call all to mass

[00:01:07] Sit here by my side

[00:01:11] For the night is very long

[00:01:15] There's something I must tell

[00:01:20] Before I pass along

[00:01:26] I joined the brotherhood

[00:01:30] My books were all to me

[00:01:35] I scribed the words of god

[00:01:39] And much of history

[00:01:44] Many a year was I

[00:01:48] Perched out upon the sea

[00:01:52] The waves would wash my tears

[00:01:57] The wind my memory

[00:02:04] I'd hear the ocean breathe

[00:02:08] Exhale upon the shore

[00:02:12] I knew the tempest's blood

[00:02:16] It's wrath I would endure

[00:02:21] And so the years went by

[00:02:25] Within my rocky cell

[00:02:29] With only a mouse or bird

[00:02:34] My friend I loved them well

[00:02:40] And so it came to pass

[00:02:44] I'd come here to romani

[00:02:49] And many a year it took

[00:02:53] Till I arrived here with thee

[00:02:58] On dusty roads I walked

[00:03:02] And over mountains high

[00:03:07] Through rivers running deep

[00:03:11] Beneath the endless sky

[00:03:59] Beneath these jasmine flowers

[00:04:03] Amidst these cypress trees

[00:04:08] I give you now my books

[00:04:12] And all their mysteries

[00:04:16] Now take the hourglass

[00:04:21] And turn it on its head

[00:04:25] For when the sands are still

[00:04:29] 'Tis then you'll find me dead

[00:04:34] O light the candle john

[00:04:38] The daylight is almost gone

[00:04:42] The birds have sung their last

[00:04:47] The bells call all to mass
