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 ...
