lirik lagu loreena mckennitt – skellig
o light the candle, john
the daylight has almost gone
the birds have sung their last
the bells call all to m-ss
sit here by my side
for the night is very long
there’s something i must tell
before i p-ss 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 sh-r-
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 p-ss
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 hourgl-ss
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 m-ss
