O light the candle, John 
The daylight has almost gone 
The birds have sung their last 
The bells call all to mass 
 
Sit here by my side 
For the night is very long 
There`s something I must tellBefore I pass along 
 
I joined the brotherhood My books were all to me 
I scribed the words of GodAnd much of history 
 
Many a year was IPerched out upon the sea 
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 bloodIts wrath I would endure 
 
And so the years went by 
Within my rocky cell 
With only a mouse or bird 
My friend; I loved them well 
 
And so it came to pass 
I`d come here to Romani 
And many a year it took 
Till I arrived here with thee 
 
On dusty roads I walked 
And over mountains high 
Through rivers running deep 
Beneath the endless sky 
 
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 
For when the sands are still 
`Tis then you`ll find me dead 
 
O light the candle, John 
The daylight is almost gone 
The birds have sung their last 
The bells call all to mass
