Turn From The Twilight

Should ever I go back to Lorien,
'Twould be in autumn when leaves turn gold,
The Nimrodel would still flow freely there,
And the mallorns would stand tall despite the cold

Should ever I go back to Lorien,
One thing is sure: I'd not be young like you,
As on that day when I first wandered there,
Golden mem'ries stayed with me, as mem'ries do

I close my eyes if by chance that I should feel,
The silky touch of Galadriel's fair hand,
I'd see again the starlight in her eyes,
As I did so long ago when I was there

Heart called to heart in that now distant day
I did not need reveal my hidden pain
But now I know that trust was born and stayed,
In that golden Elven haven, Lorien

Oh, the long road beckoned on, I had to go
To deliver to the fire what I'd been left
Although I wandered far across this land,
I never found what I had left behind

Oh the burning fire of that lost autumn
Is now but ashes and my hurt won't end,
Time heals all wounds they said, except for mine,
So I think I'll not go back to Lorien

Time heals all wounds they said, except for mine,
So I think I'll not go back to Lorien
No, I think I'll just go on to Valinor...

A/N: That was a parody of Slim Dusty's Camooweal. Never heard it? No, I'm not surprised. You wouldn't have unless you're Australian and your father happens to be into Australian country music and you were bored out of your brain while Telstra's phonelines were down last night. Original lyrics here. Iiiit's told from Frodo's perspective, and for a parody, it's kinda serious...okay, pretty serious. Freaky. Yup. Original lyrics are © Slim Dusty; Lorien, Valinor, Galadriel et al are © Tolkien Estate. I own nuttin'. Sigh.
