O light the candle, John |
| [01:24.55] |
The daylight has almost gone |
| [01:28.82] |
The birds have sung their last |
| [01:32.95] |
The bells call all to mass |
| [01:36.25] |
|
| [01:37.34] |
Sit here by my side |
| [01:41.25] |
For the night is very long |
| [01:45.79] |
There's something I must tell |
| [01:50.09] |
Before I pass along |
| [01:53.38] |
|
| [01:56.55] |
I joined the brotherhood |
| [02:00.71] |
My books were all to me |
| [02:05.01] |
I scribed the words of God |
| [02:09.28] |
And much of history |
| [02:12.85] |
|
| [02:13.76] |
Many a year was I |
| [02:17.73] |
Perched out upon the sea |
| [02:22.12] |
The waves would wash my tears, |
| [02:26.70] |
The wind, my memory |
| [02:30.17] |
|
| [02:33.16] |
I'd hear the ocean breathe |
| [02:37.45] |
Exhale upon the shore |
| [02:41.68] |
I knew the tempest's blood |
| [02:46.01] |
Its wrath I would endure |
| [02:49.70] |
|
| [02:50.43] |
And so the years went by |
| [02:54.82] |
Within my rocky cell |
| [02:59.18] |
With only a mouse or bird |
| [03:03.48] |
My friend; I loved them well |
| [03:06.76] |
|
| [03:10.08] |
And so it came to pass |
| [03:14.02] |
I'd come here to Romani |
| [03:18.38] |
And many a year it took |
| [03:22.43] |
Till I arrived here with thee |
| [03:26.50] |
|
| [03:27.04] |
On dusty roads I walked |
| [03:31.36] |
And over mountains high |
| [03:35.62] |
Through rivers running deep |
| [03:39.97] |
Beneath the endless sky |
| [03:43.96] |
|
| [04:23.08] |
Beneath these jasmine flowers |
| [04:27.37] |
Amidst these cypress trees |
| [04:31.76] |
I give you now my books |
| [04:36.19] |
And all their mysteries |
| [04:39.72] |
|
| [04:40.64] |
Now take the hourglass |
| [04:45.06] |
And turn it on its head |
| [04:49.37] |
For when the sands are still |
| [04:53.61] |
'Tis then you'll find me dead |
| [04:57.42] |
|
| [04:58.06] |
O light the candle, John |
| [05:02.32] |
The daylight is almost gone |
| [05:06.77] |
The birds have sung their last |
| [05:11.22] |
The bells call all to mass |
| [05:15.89] |
|
