SKELLIG (The Book of Secrets - 1997)
 
Intro: Am - G - F - G - Am
 
Am                   G
O light the candle, John
     F           G      Am
The daylight has almost gone
                           G
The birds have sung their last
     F         G       Am
The bells call all to mass
 
Am       G      Am
Sit here by my side
                  G    Am
For the night is very long
                  G       Am
There's something I must tell
   F      G     Am
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
 
I'd hear the ocean breathe
Exhale upon the shore
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 pass
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 hourglass
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 mass
