A/N: This one I worked rather long and hard on, and I like the results. However, if you think there's some way to smooth over anything, please review and tell me so! And review if you don't have anything you'd like me to fix!

For this particular song, I decided to include a quote from the books, for a few reasons. First of all, I was really excited about it, and when I decided to use Éowyn and Faramir, it reminded me a lot of something in RotK. When I finished the words to the song and was typing it to send to Luthien, I decided to look for the part I'd thought of, in case I wanted to use it. Well, I looked it up, it fit perfectly, and the rest is history.

Disclaimer: I still don't own Fiddler or Lord of the Rings. Please stop looking at me like that. I'll return them when I'm done. Really.


'Then if you will have it so, lady,' he said: 'you do not go, because only your brother called for you, and to look on the Lord Aragorn, Elendil's hair, in his triumph would now bring you no joy. Or because I do not go, and you desire still to be near me. And maybe for both these reasons, and you yourself cannot choose between them. Éowyn, do you not love me, or will you not?'

'I wished to be loved by another,' she answered. 'But I desire no man's pity.'

'That I know, he said. 'You desired to have the love of the Lord Aragorn. Because he was high and puissant, and you wished to have renown and glory and to be lifted far above the mean things that crawl on the earth. And as a great captain may to a young soldier he seemed to you admirable. For so he is, a lord among men, the greatest that now is. But when he gave you only understanding and pity, then you desired to have nothing, unless a brave death in battle. Look at me, Éowyn!'

And Éowyn looked at Faramir long and steadily; and Faramir said: 'Do not scorn pity that is the gift of a gentle heart, Éowyn! But I do not offer you my pity. For you are a lady high and valiant and have yourself won renown that shall not be forgotten; and you are a lady beautiful, I deem, beyond even the words of the Elven-tongue to tell. And I love you. Once I pitied your sorrow. But now, were you sorrowless, without fear or any lack, were you the blissful Queen of Gondor, still I would love you. Éowyn, do you love me?'

Then the heart of Éowyn changed, or else at last she understood it. And suddenly her winter passed, and the sun shone on her.

'I stand in Minas Anor, the Tower of the Sun,' she said: 'and behold! The Shadow has departed! I will be a shield-maiden no longer, nor vie with the great Riders, nor take joy only in the songs of slaying. I will be a healer, and love all things that grow and are not barren.' And again she looked at Faramir. 'No longer do I desire to be a queen,' she said.

Faramir:

'It's a new world... A new world. Love. Eowyn...'

Do you love me?

Eowyn:

Do I what?

Faramir:

Do you love me?

Eowyn:

Do I love you?

With our peoples waging battle

And this trouble in the world

You're upset, you're worn out

Go inside, go lie down!

Maybe it's indigestion.

Faramir:

'Eowyn, I'm asking you a question...'

Do you love me?

Eowyn:

You're a fool

Faramir:

'I know...'

But do you love me?

Eowyn:

Do I love you?

In the past few days I've become aquainted with you

Killed the Witch King, almost died

Fought a battle, and lived somehow

After all of that, why talk about love right now?

Faramir:

Eowyn, The first time I met you

Was in the Healing House

I was sick

Eowyn:

I was ill

Faramir:

I was dying

Eowyn:

So was I

Faramir:

But the healers and the king

Said we'd help to heal each other

And now I'm asking, Eowyn

Do you love me?

Eowyn:

I'm your friend

Faramir:

"I know..."

But do you love me?

Eowyn:

Do I love him?

For the past few days I've lived with him

Fought him, healed with him

The past few days my confidence is his

If that's not love, what is?

Faramir:

Then you love me?

Eowyn:

I suppose I do.

Faramir:

And I suppose I love you too

Both:

It doesn't change a thing

But even so

After the past few days

It's nice to know


Just wanted to say thank you to all of my reviewers for responding so favorably and to Luthien the wonder-beta for, well... being a wonder-beta. I'll try to get the next song up soon.
