Disclaimer: I do not own ANY of it!
Authors note: Okay,. I decided to put a bunch of songs over the next few chapters under one banner and call it Middle-earth in concert. It's snap shots from a concert in Gondor. I hope you all enjoy it!
Middle-earth In Concert
I Guess He'd Rather be in Osgiliath
Elrond steps up to the microphone and says, "Greetings strangers from a distant land and friends of old, I am Lord Elrond of Rivendell. Tonight, we are going to take you on a musical journey through...all sorts of places. So, with out further ado, I introduce Aragorn son of Arathorn!" The audience claps wildly as Elrond leaves and Aragorn takes the stage. He walks up to the mic with his guitar and begins to speak. "This song is written about Boromir and dedicated to him. You're great man!" Aragorn says to Boromir who is back stage. Aragorn begins to play his guitar.
("I Guess He'd Rather Be In Colorado" by John Denver)
I guess he'd rather be in Osgiliath
He'd rather spend his time out where Gondor looks like a pearl after the rain
Once again to see him fightin'
Once again to hear him talkin'
To the stars he writes and askin' them for war fare.
I guess he'd rather be in Osgiliath.
He'd rather slay with his sword in the morning when the moon is scarcely gone
In the dawn the orcs are comin'
In the dawn I see him fightin'
Some old orc he fought before in his own land
Guess he'd rather be in Osgiliath
Guess he'd rather be in Osgiliath
Guess he'd rather fight out where the only way you earn is if you kill
In the end he's in Imladris
In the end a quiet cough is all he has to show
He'd rather be orc hunting.
I guess he'd rather be in Osgiliath.
Aragorn finishes and receives wild applause.
