O light the candle John[00:01:20]
The daylight has almost gone[00:01:24]
The birds have sung their last[00:01:28]
The bells call all to mass[00:01:33]
Sit here by my side[00:01:37]
For the night is very long[00:01:41]
There's something I must tell[00:01:46]
Before I pass along[00:01:50]
I joined the brotherhood[00:01:56]
My books were all to me[00:02:01]
I scribed the words of God[00:02:05]
And much of history[00:02:09]
Many a year was I[00:02:14]
Perched out upon the sea[00:02:18]
The waves would wash my tears[00:02:22]
The wind my memory[00:02:27]
I'd hear the ocean breathe[00:02:33]
Exhale upon the shore[00:02:38]
I knew the tempest's blood[00:02:42]
It's wrath I would endure[00:02:46]
And so the years went by[00:02:51]
Within my rocky cell[00:02:55]
With only a mouse or bird[00:02:59]
My friend I loved them well[00:03:04]
And so it came to pass[00:03:10]
I'd come here to Romani[00:03:14]
And many a year it took[00:03:19]
Till I arrived here with thee[00:03:23]
On dusty roads I walked[00:03:27]
And over mountains high[00:03:32]
Through rivers running deep[00:03:36]
Beneath the endless sky[00:03:40]
Beneath these jasmine flowers[00:04:24]
Amidst these cypress trees[00:04:28]
I give you now my books[00:04:32]
And all their mysteries[00:04:37]
Now take the hourglass[00:04:42]
And turn it on its head[00:04:46]
For when the sands are still[00:04:50]
'Tis then you'll find me dead[00:04:54]
O light the candle John[00:04:59]
The daylight is almost gone[00:05:03]
The birds have sung their last[00:05:07]
The bells call all to mass[00:05:12]
