Loreena McKennitt - Skellig Lyrics

Font:      
Align:    
  • Oh 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 tell before I pass along
  • I joined the brotherhood, my books were all to me
  • I scribed the words of God and much of history
  • Many a year was I perched 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 blood, its 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 'til 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
  • Oh light the candle, John, the daylight is almost gone
  • The birds have sung their last, the bells call all to mass
