The
Weakness In Me (by Éowyn)
(originally
by Joan Armatrading)
I'm not the sort of person
Who falls, in and quickly out of love
But to you I gave my attention
Right from the start
I'm not a maiden, who can't fight
Why can't I go to war?
Yet they all say I'm a maiden
Why do you come here;
When you know we've got troubles
enough
Why do you call Rohan
When you know we're at war already
Make me stay when I don't want to
And make me feel weak
When I know I can fight for myself
Make me stay when I should not
Are you so strong
Or is all the weakness in me?
Why do you leave now
The men
think that you're running away
I need to see you
I would follow you
Always
Feeling anxious
Worried
Waking from tormented sleep
Cause your love has me bound
But blood runs too deep
If I stay now
Then I lose out
Rohan might very well fall
I need rest
Or death
Why do you wake me
When I'm peacefully sleeping alone
Why do you heal me
When I'm bitter and cold to the bone
And make me stay in Minas Tirith
Go marching off
Into the final battle
But I stayed, when I should not
I met someone else who brings out the
weakness in me
Why do you come back
When I'm happy and falling for him
I'm glad I found him
I know I need him
Always
CB
