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.
