IN THE WAY

Aragorn, Frodo, the ring, this tune, and most of the words of this song don't belong to me (but I have changed it enough so that it's original.) Tolkien and Joss are the owners (falls down and weeps) So please don't sue me Im a poor highschool student and I own nothing but a verry fat rabbit.

I love the scene in the first movie where Aragorn lets Frodo go, and I love this song from Buffy the Vampire Slayers episode "Once more with feeling" so I thought hey with a few tweaks these could go together, this is my first attempt at a song-fic so go easy on me.

ARAGORN:

I thought you weren't ready for the world outside

I keep pretending

but fear we can't hide

I know I said that I'd be standing by your side

But IIIIIII.........

Your path's unbeaten and its all uphill

but you can beat it

I know you will

so I'm the reason that you're standing still

But IIIIII.......

I know I could say the right words

to lead you through this land

Wish I could be your father

and take you by the hand

Wish I could

Stand by you

but now I understand

Im standing in your way

The cries around us you know to well

to take them away my soul I'd sell

but you can't lie there

so your cry rings out like a bell

But IIII....

I wish I could lay your arms down

and let you rest at last

Wish I could slay my demons

but I knew it couldn't last

Wish I could

Stand by you

but now I understand

We're standing in the way

Im standing in your way

FRODO:

You'll fall under its spell

I wish this wouldn't be

I know we've both been through hell

If I leave you now they'll be nothing left of me

You made me believe

BOTH:

Believe me I don't wanna go

and It'll grieve me 'cause I love you so

but we both know

ARAGORN:

I know I could say the right words

to lead you through this land

Wish I could be your father

and take you by the hand

FRODO:

Wish I could trust that it was just this one

but I must do what I must

I can't adjust to my disgust

I'm gone

and I just

BOTH:

Wish I could Stayyyy

Wish I could Stayyyy

Wish I could Stayyyy

Wish I could
