Summer Russell: Music

Frodo's Song

(Summer Russell)
July, 2010

Wind is in the east, across the water                                  

Grey the waves that softly seek the harbor

There a white ship waits to bear me far away

Far beyond the old wounds and the dwindling day

 

And in your eyes

That see they cannot follow

Sorrow takes hold

My friend, I know

 

But silver on the hills, the rain returning

Golden light upon the face of morning

Green has come again, and soon the flowers grow

Spare a loving hand to help them as they go

And in your eyes

I see the years run onward

Long with a love

That overflows

 

Stand with me, to look awhile together-

Night was deep, but morning shines forever

We are meant to live, and will be whole again

And I will carry, far as any heart can wend,

What your eyes

In all their kindness show

I know now, my friend

It has no end
