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 Theres 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 Id hear the ocean breathe; Exhale upon the shore I knew the tempests 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 Id 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 one its head For when the sands are still Tis then youll find me dead O light the candle, John The daylight has almost gone The birds have sung their last The bells call all to mass Loreena McKennitt https://youtube/watch?v=V2tiuhpLex4&list=PL909A255D91AE770C&index=3
