Not Until It's Over
By Talking Hawk
Travelling along foreign lands
Tripping, stumbling, and pushing along
I won't stop
Not until it's over
Your shuddering breath is the only thing I hear
Begging the smoky air to grant
Your weary limbs rest
I won't stop pulling you along,
Giving weary encouragement all the way,
Not until it's over
I think back on the things - the people - back home
Worryin' about us
The Gaffer, my brothers and sisters, Rosie. . .
Rosie. . .
No, I can't go back to her (not that she was ever mine to go back to
In the first place. . .)
Not until it's over
"It" is mostly the only thing I think about these days -
The end of the Quest,
The fulfillment of our duties,
The beginning of happiness again
You probably wonder, Mr. Frodo,
If I'll go off on my own
Once It's all over
Well, sir. . .
To change the meaning of "It" a bit,
"It" is also my life, my purpose:
So, Mr. Frodo,
When you ask me,
"Will you ever leave me, dear Sam?
Will you leave me be, when the Ring is no more?
If I should survive this thing,
What ever am I to do?"
I'll look up at you and say,
"Never will I leave you
Not until It's over."
