Farewell Middle Earth… Billy Boyd: The Last Goodbye

Billy Boyd, who gave life to Pippin in The Lord of the Rings trilogy has just released a music, part of the soundtrack of The Hobbit: The Battle Of The Five Armies. It’s a gorgeous song by itself, but the music video is far beyond amazing, with shot from broth trilogies, The Lord of the Rings and The Hobbit, as well as behind the cameras shots, it’s a proper goodbye to everyone who was a part of both projects… It’s worth watching (and if you hold back the tears, you have done better than me!!!).

I saw the light fade from the sky
On the wind I heard a sigh
As the snowflakes cover my fallen brothers
I will say this last goodbye

Night is now falling
So ends this day
The road is now calling
And I must away
Over hill and under tree
Through lands where never light has shone
By silver streams that run down to the sea

Under cloud, beneath the stars
Over snow one winter’s morn
I turn at last to paths that lead home
And though where the road then takes me
I cannot tell
We came all this way
But now comes the day
To bid you farewell

Many places I have been
Many sorrows I have seen
But I don’t regret
Nor will I forget
All who took the road with me

Night is now falling
So ends this day
The road is now calling
And I must away
Over hill and under tree
Through lands where never light has shone
By silver streams that run down to the sea

To these memories I will hold
With your blessing I will go
To turn at last to paths that lead home
And though where the road then takes me
I cannot tell
We came all this way
But now comes the day
To bid you farewell

I bid you all a very fond farewell
