[00:00.00]Skellig (Live in Paris and Toronto) - Loreena McKennitt
[00:57.73]O light the candle John
[01:01.14]The daylight has almost gone
[01:05.37]The birds have sung their last
[01:09.07]The bells call all to mass
[01:13.26]Sit here by my side
[01:16.73]For the night is very long
[01:20.85]There's something I must tell
[01:24.37]Before I pass along
[01:30.83]I joined the brotherhood
[01:34.19]My books were all to me
[01:38.04]I scribed the words of God
[01:41.73]And much of history
[01:45.67]It was much place to live
[01:49.62]It's life solitude
[01:53.67]Until day the came
[01:57.54]The wind my memory
[02:04.07]I'd hear the ocean breathe
[02:07.63]Exhale upon the shore
[02:11.39]I knew the tempest's blood
[02:15.18]It's wrath I would endure
[02:19.31]And so the years went by
[02:23.09]Within my rocky cell
[02:26.89]With only a mouse or bird
[02:30.94]My friend I loved them well
[02:37.29]And so it came to pass
[02:40.70]I'd come here to Romani
[02:44.99]And many a year it took
[02:48.61]Till I arrived here with thee
[02:52.80]On dusty roads I walked
[02:56.77]And over mountains high
[03:00.53]Through rivers running deep
[03:04.44]Beneath the endless sky
[03:46.74]Beneath these jasmine flowers
[03:50.70]Amidst these cypress trees
[03:54.95]I give you now my books
[03:58.41]And all their mysteries
[04:02.51]Now take the hourglass
[04:06.32]And turn it on it's head
[04:10.31]For when the sands are still
[04:14.14]'Tis then you'll find me dead
[04:18.45]O light the candle John
[04:22.02]The daylight is almost gone
[04:26.13]The birds have sung their last
[04:29.54]The bells call all to mass
