《Skellig》歌词

[00:01:20] O light the candle John

[00:01:24] The daylight has almost gone

[00:01:28] The birds have sung their last

[00:01:33] The bells call all to mass

[00:01:37] Sit here by my side

[00:01:41] For the night is very long

[00:01:46] There's something I must tell

[00:01:50] Before I pass along

[00:01:56] I joined the brotherhood

[00:02:01] My books were all to me

[00:02:05] I scribed the words of God

[00:02:09] And much of history

[00:02:14] Many a year was I

[00:02:18] Perched out upon the sea

[00:02:22] The waves would wash my tears

[00:02:27] The wind my memory

[00:02:33] I'd hear the ocean breathe

[00:02:38] Exhale upon the shore

[00:02:42] I knew the tempest's blood

[00:02:46] It's wrath I would endure

[00:02:51] And so the years went by

[00:02:55] Within my rocky cell

[00:02:59] With only a mouse or bird

[00:03:04] My friend I loved them well

[00:03:10] And so it came to pass

[00:03:14] I'd come here to Romani

[00:03:19] And many a year it took

[00:03:23] Till I arrived here with thee

[00:03:27] On dusty roads I walked

[00:03:32] And over mountains high

[00:03:36] Through rivers running deep

[00:03:40] Beneath the endless sky

[00:04:24] Beneath these jasmine flowers

[00:04:28] Amidst these cypress trees

[00:04:32] I give you now my books

[00:04:37] And all their mysteries

[00:04:42] Now take the hourglass

[00:04:46] And turn it on its head

[00:04:50] For when the sands are still

[00:04:54] 'Tis then you'll find me dead

[00:04:59] O light the candle John

[00:05:03] The daylight is almost gone

[00:05:07] The birds have sung their last

[00:05:12] The bells call all to mass
