Skellig Lyrics
Artist(Band):Loreena McKennitt
Review The Song (2)Print the Lyrics
O light the candle, John
The daylight has almost gone
The birds have sung their last
The bells call all to mass


Sit here by my side
For the night is very long
There's something I must tell
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

Review about Skellig

Beautiful song | Reviewer: Jen | 10/30/2007

I just heard this for the first time last night, and it's so beautiful, haunting, and pure that it made me want to cry. Loreena McKennnitt is awesome, and she has such a clear, pretty voice.



Skelling is my love | Reviewer: Michal | 10/26/2007

People, there is so much good in this song that every time I hear it it makes me to think about all the bad things I have done. I am bad when I do hear this song that I have to cry. It's the sadiest but the most nice song I have ever heard.
