It's 1482 in the Shire Reckoning (Fourth Age 61), and Sam has finally decided to leave Middle-earth. The ship can't sail fast enough for him—or for Frodo…
Sam:
There's a smile on the wind as it touches my face
And starts to erase all the gloom,
And the sun with a kiss begins to dismiss
The memory of my life without
you.
Frodo:
Well, it seems like yesterday that my path took me
away,
Although I know it's been some sixty years.
Now you're bound for Elvenhome, and my patient
time alone
Has made our longtime friendship much more dear.
Both:
As the ship gets closer, every minute I look round
To an Elf who keeps looking back at me,
And he says to me, "Be patient, son; you've waited
this long."
But how can I be strong?

Sam:
Now the gangplank's finally
down and the waves have stopped their sound.
I look in the crowd and there you stand,
And the gap that once was time is forever closed
behind,
'Cause they told me I could come, and here I am!
Yes, they told me I could come, and here I am!
I told you I would come, and here I am!
