Loreena McKennitt - Skellig слова песни
O light the candle, JohnThe daylight has almost goneThe birds have sung their lastThe bells call all to massSit here by my sideFor the night is very longThere`s something I must tellBefore I pass alongI joined the brotherhood My books were all to meI scribed the words of GodAnd much of historyMany a year was IPerched out upon the seaThe waves would wash my tears,The wind, my memoryI`d hear the ocean breatheExhale upon the shoreI knew the tempest`s bloodIts wrath I would endureAnd so the years went byWithin my rocky cellWith only a mouse or birdMy friend; I loved them wellAnd so it came to passI`d come here to RomaniAnd many a year it tookTill I arrived here with theeOn dusty roads I walkedAnd over mountains highThrough rivers running deepBeneath the endless skyBeneath these jasmine flowersAmidst these cypress treesI give you now my booksAnd all their mysteriesNow take the hourglassAnd turn it on its headFor when the sands are still`Tis then you`ll find me deadO light the candle, JohnThe daylight is almost goneThe birds have sung their lastThe bells call all to mass
