The song Skellig from Loreena McKennitt's album The book of Secrets

It's been a while since I've uploaded anything and an even greater while since I've uploaded any songs... I deleted all of my others because frankly they were crap. This one may still be crap but I think it might be a little better.. I recorded in Audacity and sang the harmonies by ear so it's definately not the best it can be! It only took about two hours. My voice isn't very good, I just like doing projects like this to see what I can create! Much love and many blessings!!

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 (less info)
