A Walking Song(I) - The Tolkien Ensemble

Upon the hearth the fire is red

Beneath the roof there is a bed

But not yet weary are our feet

Still round the corner we may meet

A sudden tree or standing stone

That none have seen but we alone

Tree and flower and leaf and grass

Let them pass

Let them pass

Hill and water under sky

Pass them by

Pass them by

Still round the corner there may wait

A new road or a secret gate

And though we pass them by today

Tomorrow we may come this way

And take the hidden paths that run

Towards the Moon or to the Sun

Apple thorn and nut and sloe

Let them go

Let them go

Sand and stone and pool and dell

Fare you well

Fare you well

Home is behind the world ahead

And there are many paths to tread

Through shadows to the edge of night

Until the stars are all alight

Then world behind and home ahead

We'll wander back to home and bed

Mist and twilight cloud and shade

Away shall fade

Away shall fade

Fire and lamp and meat and bread

And then to bed

And then to bed
