Brobdingnagian Bards - The Ring of Hope lyrics

rate me

When I was young, I'd sit around Bag End with Bilbo

Singing songs and tales about the Elves of Old

A leaf of golden par

That transformed the hobbits' life forever more.

O' Gandalf was exceptional among men.

He mastered the Art, blew smoke-rings and dragons.

But if only he had known

That Bilbo's ring was the one,

He'd never let it corrupt my master's soul.

Let the West wind blow

My ring of smoke

Over through Mordor

The One Ring of hope.

Now the kids all sit around my Bag End home.

And I tell stories to them, though not of old.

Well the pipe-weed is still the same.

But my memories are out of frame.

Transformed by my love of Master Frodo.

Let the West wind blow

My ring of smoke

Over through Mordor

The One Ring of hope.

Now the ring is gone and my master's sailed to his new home.

And I have no pipe with me for one last smoke.

But I can see the Southern Star

Please take me to where you are.

Before the sadness inside floats away with my smoke.

Let the West wind blow

My ring of smoke

Over through Mordor

The One Ring of hope.
