Tears in Valinor

A/N: Heya, this is Poppy of the esteemed (or…well, not esteemed, but we should be!) writing duo of Poppy and Clover. I know Clove's songs are excellent and fabulous etc and that my little songs in no way match up regarding greatness, but I wrote this on an 8 hour train journey (it didn't take me 8 hours though…) when I was stressed and pissed off and dammit I'm posting it as it is! I was more than a little unsure of posting this, as it means so much to Eric Clapton, who wrote it, and it has such personal attachment to it, but I figured he wouldn't mind as I've tried not to butcher it! Let me know what y'all think.

Also, this song is meant for Sam to sing as he travels across the sea to rejoin his former master… aww…

Sam: Will you know my name

When I meet you in Valinor?

Will you be the same

When we meet up in Valinor?

I have been strong

I've carried on

'Cause I knew I didn't belong

In Valinor

Will you hold my hand

When I go to Valinor?

Are you still my old friend

Now you've lived in Valinor?

I'll find my way

Through night and day

Finally I'm making my way

To Valinor

Time has brought me down

Time has bent my knees

Time has broken my heart

Now I'm begging please, praying please

Beyond the sea

There's healing and peace

When it's just you and me

It will be Heaven

You still know my name

Now I've made it to Valinor

And you have not changed

And we're together in Valinor

No more being strong

Don't have to carry on

Together we both belong

Here in Valinor.
