If Witch-King were Gandalf (If Wishes Were Fishes)
Note: this song assumes an alternate history where Gandalf ruled the Nazgul instead of Witch-King. It's about an ageing Nazgul fondly remembering his younger days and wishing he were there again.
I wish he were here again, at beating us up again
It's been a long time since his staff swung at me
But I'm wasting my precious days wishing my life away(1)
If Witch-King were Gandalf, we'd all be drowned in the sea
.
And I wish I was young again, my head still full of bumps again
The old tunes of my life have gone sweet and on key(2)
Singing my tired old rhymes; trying to turn back time
If Witch-King were Gandalf, we'd all be drowned in the sea
.
If Witch-King were Gandalf, I know where I'd be
Gasping for breath in the dark rolling sea
And if my net's empty when it comes back to shore
If Witch-King were Gandalf, we'd all be drowned in the sea
.
I wish I could hate again, walk through the gate again
Spill some more blood, and let it run free
The older I get it seems, the more wishing takes the place of dreams
If Witch-King were Gandalf, we'd all be drowned in the sea
.
If Witch-King were Gandalf, I know where I'd be
Gasping for breath in the dark rolling sea
And if my net's empty when it comes back to shore
If Witch-King were Gandalf, we'd all be drowned in the sea
.
I wish he were here again, at beating us up again
It's been a long time since his staff swung at me
But I'm wasting my precious days wishing my life away
If Witch-King were Gandalf, we'd all be drowned in the sea
Please review and feel free to suggest songs!
(1): "but I'm" is sung in the pause between the second and third lines
(2): The original line is "Sour and off key". This is supposed to be desirable for the Nazgul, so sweet and on-key singing is excruciating to them.
