[ti:The Dark Night Of The Soul]
[ar:Loreena McKennitt]
[00:23.54]Upon a darkened night
[00:27.85]The flame of love was burning in my breast
[00:34.22]And by a lantern bright
[00:38.60]I fled my house while all in quiet rest
[00:45.41]Shrouded by the night
[00:49.60]And by the secret stair I quickly fled
[00:56.41]The veil concealed my eyes
[01:00.47]While all within lay quiet as the dead
[01:09.66]Oh night thou was my guide
[01:13.80]Oh night more loving than the rising sun
[01:19.00]Oh night that joined the lover
[01:22.71]To the beloved one
[01:26.46]Transforming each of them into the other
[01:34.65]Upon that misty night
[01:38.46]In secrecy beyond such mortal sight
[01:44.83]Without a guide or light
[01:49.58]Than that which burned so deeply in my heart
[01:56.21]That fire t'was led me on
[02:00.08]And shone more bright than of the midday sun
[02:06.52]To where he waited still
[02:10.96]It was a place where no one else could come
[02:19.52]Oh night thou was my guide
[02:23.96]Oh night more loving than the rising sun
[02:28.91]Oh night that joined the lover
[02:32.85]To the beloved one
[02:36.18]Transforming each of them into the other
[03:06.83]Within my pounding heart
[03:10.77]Which kept itself entirely for him
[03:17.36]He fell into his sleep
[03:22.11]Beneath the cedars all my love I gave
[03:28.69]And by the fortress walls
[03:32.88]The wind would brush his hair against his brow
[03:39.20]And with its smoothest hand
[03:43.48]Caressed my every sense it would allow
[03:52.29]Oh night thou was my guide
[03:56.69]Oh night more loving than the rising sun
[04:01.79]Oh night that joined the lover
[04:05.54]To the beloved one
[04:09.17]Transforming each of them into the other
[05:03.94]I lost myself to him
[05:07.63]And laid my face upon my lovers breast
[05:14.20]And care and grief grew dim
[05:18.47]As in the mornings mist became the light
[05:25.85]There they dimmed amongst the lilies fair
[05:32.88]There they dimmed amongst the lilies fair
[05:39.46]There they dimmed amongst the lilies fair
