Title
- (Loreena McKennitt)
- [Instrumental]
- (Loreena McKennitt)
- 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
- (Loreena McKennitt)
- [Instrumental]
- (Loreena McKennitt)
- Ride on through the night tide on
- Ride on through the night tide on
- There are visions, there are memories
- There are echoes of thundering hooves
- There are fires, there is laughter
- There's the sound of a thousand doves
- In the velvet of the darkness
- By the silhouette of silent trees
- They are watching waiting
- They are witnessing life's mysteries
- Cascading stars on the slumbering hills
- They are dancing as far as the sea
- Riding o'er the land, you can feel its gentle hand
- Leading on to its destiny
- Take me with you on this journey
- Where the boundaries of time are now tossed
- In cathedrals of the forest
- In the words of the tongues now lost
- Find the answers, ask the questions
- Find the roots of an ancient tree
- Take me dancing, take me singing
- I'll ride on till the moon meets the sea
- (Loreena McKennitt)
- When the dark wood fell before me
- And all the paths were overgrown
- When the priests of pride say there is no other way
- I tilled the sorrows of stone
- I did not believe because I could not see
- Though you came to me in the night
- When the dawn seemed forever lost
- You showed me your love in the light of the stars
- Cast your eyes on the ocean
- Cast your soul to the sea
- When the dark night seems endless
- Please remember me
- Then the mountain rose before me
- By the deep well of desire
- From the fountain of forgiveness
- Beyond the ice and fire
- Cast your eyes on the ocean
- Cast your soul to the sea
- When the dark night seems endless
- Please remember me
- Though we share this humble path, alone
- How fragile is the heart
- Oh give these clay feet wings to fly
- To touch the face of the stars
- Breathe life into this feeble heart
- Lift this mortal veil of fear
- Take these crumbled hopes, etched with tears
- We'll rise above these earthly cares
- Cast your eyes on the ocean
- Cast your soul to the sea
- When the dark night seems endless
- Please remember me
- Please remember me
