Back to The Kellaways
(Words and Music : Alf Davies)
| Nine fingers, the bravest hobbit who ever lived His name was Frodo, the quest took all that he could give Ring-bearer where's your smile, you'll be better in a while The Eye of Sauron won't be seen again From Bag End to Mordor, Black Riders screaming overhead The end of the Fellowship, across the Marshes of the Dead The Ring-bearer held his nerve, with only Sam and Sting to serve Now you're safe you'll soon forget the pain |
||
But some horrors never end Some wounds will never mend Be patient till you reach the Havens | ||
| The treachery of Smeagol, many times your
mercy stilled your hand Survived the sting of Shelob, entered then the dark and barren land The Ring-bearer felt the weight, the force of evil close and great Only one so humble could stay sane Mount Doom now beckoned, the engine room of Sauron spewing fire The weight now so massive, only courage left to take you higher The Ring-bearer's halfling grit, with the Eldar you shall sit Middle Earth is safe now in cleansing rain |
||
Nine fingers, immortal songs No one else could be so strong To the journey's end, at the Havens Nine-fingered Frodo, you were the saviour Nine-fingered Frodo, none was braver | ||
