        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
