[00:46.72]O light the candle, John
[01:24.84]The daylight has almost gone
[01:29.23]The birds have sung their last
[01:33.34]The bells call all to mass
[01:37.62]Sit here by my side
[01:41.71]For the night is very long
[01:46.20]There's something I must tell
[01:50.54]Before I pass along
[01:54.85]I joined the brotherhood
[02:00.98]My books were all to me
[02:05.54]I scribed the words of God
[02:09.84]And much of history
[02:14.14]Many a year was I
[02:18.25]Perched out upon the sea
[02:22.86]The waves would wash my tears,
[02:27.25]The wind, my memory
[02:34.25]I'd hear the ocean breathe
[02:38.07]Exhale upon the shore
[02:42.32]I knew the tempest's blood
[02:46.79]Its wrath I would endure
[02:51.20]And so the years went by
[02:55.62]Within my rocky cell
[03:00.00]With only a mouse or bird
[03:03.87]My friend; I loved them well
[03:10.95]And so it came to pass
[03:14.54]I'd come here to Romani
[03:19.37]And many a year it took
[03:23.26]Till I arrived here with thee
[03:27.96]On dusty roads I walked
[03:32.29]And over mountains high
[03:36.59]Through rivers running deep
[03:40.77]Beneath the endless sky
[04:24.97]Beneath these jasmine flowers
[04:28.76]Amidst these cypress trees
[04:32.99]I give you now my books
[04:37.48]And all their mysteries
[04:41.92]Now take the hourglass
[04:46.39]And turn it on its head
[04:50.75]For when the sands are still
[04:54.33]'Tis then you'll find me dead
[04:59.38]O light the candle, John
[05:03.45]The daylight is almost gone
[05:08.10]The birds have sung their last
[05:12.10]The bells call all to mass
