Loading...

o light the candle, john
the daylight has almost gone
the birds have sung their last
the bells call all to m-ss

sit here by my side
for the night is very long
there’s something i must tell
before i p-ss 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

i’d hear the ocean breathe
exhale upon the sh-r-
i knew the tempest’s 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 p-ss
i’d 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 hourgl-ss
and turn it on its head
for when the sands are still
’tis then you’ll find me dead

o light the candle, john
the daylight is almost gone
the birds have sung their last
the bells call all to m-ss
