Frodo was a friend of mine Though the tale goes for miles ... It takes the help of a couple of friends And a seat by the fireside ...

High as Heaven ... deep as hell ... No tongue had ever hoped to tell it alive; Friends should never say goodbye.

A fire burns in the cracks of Doom I can still close my eyes ... With little Rosie by my hand I can push it all aside ...

But in the silence ... in between ... I wake up twisted in the sheets of my night; Friends should never say goodbye.

... interlude ...

Frodo sailed with a fisted hand I was watching from the ground ... All the visions we ever shared Were all around me ...

On his way across that sea ... I tried so hard to stay the rain from my eyes; Friends should never say goodbye ... Friends should never say goodbye ... Friends should never say goodbye.
