Cloudy, Cloudy Night
Pippin is in Minas Tirith, standing next to Gandalf and looking out towards Mordor. Suddenly, he begins to sing.

Cloudy, cloudy night
All the sky is brown and grey
Sauron wants to win this day
His eye pierces through darkness to my soul
Shadows on the hills
Cover the trees and daffodils,
Ruin the breeze with a winter chill
In colours of the decay of his land
- -
Now I understand
What you tried to say to me
And how I'll suffer for my eavesdropping
And how you tried to set me free
I would not listen
I did not know how
It's to late to listen now
- -
Cloudy, cloudy night
His flaming eye that brightly blaze
Swirling clouds and violent haze
Reflect in Gandalf's eyes of china blue
Colours changing hue
Mordor's fields of ugly grey
Weathered faces lined in pain
Are trapped beneath the Dead Marshes soggy land
- -
Now I understand
What you tried to say to me
And how you've suffered for bringing me
And how you tried to help me see.
I would not listen
I did not know how
It's to late to listen now
- -
For I could not help you
But still your help was true
And when no hope was left insight
On that cloudy, cloudy night
You saved the men as hero's often do
But I could have told you Gandalf
Denethor will not appreciate one as powerful as you
- -
Like the strangers that you've met
The ragged men in ranger clothes
The golden ring of Sauron's search
Lie around the neck of dear Frodo
- -
Now I think I know
What you tried to say to me
And how you suffered for bringing me
And how you tried to help me see,
I would not listen
I'm not listening still
Perhaps I never will...
