Disclaimer: Don't own LOTR, Don't own the song "Back Home Again" by John Denver. Duh.
Authors note: Well, this wasn't how I planned it to turn out, but I think I like this better. I hope you all enjoy it!
It'd Be good to be Back Home Again
Frodo is traveling from his house in Crickhollow to Bree. Along the way he becomes a little depressed, and sings a little song about it all.
There's a storm across the valley, clouds are rollin' in
The world's fate is heavy on my shoulders.
There's a Wraith out on the Road, a mile or more away
The screechin' of his voice just makes it colder.
--
He's an hour away from ridin' on your prayers up in the sky,
And ten days on the road are barely gone,
There's a fire softly burnin', supper's on the stove,
And the hope of food in Bree makes me warm,
Chorus:
It'd be good to be back home again,
Sometimes I do wish that I never dragged in my friends,
Hey, it'd be good to be back home again.
--
There's all the news to tell me, from Gildor my elf friend,
And what the latest thing the dwarves do say?
And Gandalf sent word last Friday, he escaped the tower high,
And he reached Crickhollow just yesterday.
Chorus:
It'd be good to be back home again,
Sometimes I do wish that I never dragged in my friends,
Hey, it'd be good to be back home again.
--
And oh the time that I can lay this tired old body down,
And feel my feather quilt soft upon me.
The hope that I live for, the friends that lights my way,
The happiness that havin' good friends brings me.
--
It's the sweetest thing I know. It helps comfort me on this Road
It's the little things that make this bearable.
Like a fire softly burnin' and supper ov'r the flame, and the
Light of Bombadil's makes me warm.
Chorus:
It'd be good to be back home again,
Sometimes I do wish that I never dragged in my friends,
Hey, it'd be good to be back home again.
It'd be good to be back home again,
Sometimes I do wish that I never dragged in my friends,
Hey, it'd be good to be back home again.
