[01:20.32]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]
[05:48.32]
[06:03.23]END
