The Last Good-Bye

Song: Last Good-Bye
Artist: Peter Hollens

Today, I gave my "last good-bye" so to speak.

Everyone has left. Everyone is beginning a new phase in their life. Everyone that is, except me. But I hope to. I hope to at least try. I hope to embrace new opportunities. I hope to have courage like my brother. I hope to find that the"greatest adventure" truly does lie ahead. That good things will come when I walk by faith.

This song is beautiful. Even if it does make me a little sad. Good-byes are never easy or fun. But, as I have found, quite inevitable. I've had to say a lot of "good-byes" and "see you laters" lately. I feel drained. And lonely. But I'll try to keep my head up.

I love all of Peter Hollens "Middle-Earth" aka Lord of the Rings and Hobbit covers. I've been listening to them a lot lately. Something about these songs just seem to be so fitting and appropriate for my life right now. I also just marathoned the Lord of the Rings trilogy. I love those movies!

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 and 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 that 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


Here's the original song by the fantastic Mr. Billy Boyd aka forever and always, Pippin :)
