GREY SHIP SAILING
by Raven (Jon Lennart Beck)

Tune: Moonlight Shadow, Mike Oldfield.

The last that ever he saw him
Carried away by a grey ship sailing
He returned home saddened but caring
Carried away by a grey ship sailing.
Left off the Mithlond on a wet autumn night
Far away to the other side.
He was caught in the wrench of an emotional fight
And he found not yet how to push through

The trees that whisper in the evening
Not in despair by the starlight twinkling
Sing a song of sorrowing and grieving
Not in despair by the starlight twinkling
All he saw was the silhouette of the sails
Far away to the other side.
He was stabbed and poisoned and his happiness frail
And he found not yet how to push through

I stay, I pray, I see you in Aman far away
I stay, I pray, I see you in Aman one day

Four o'clock in the morning
Sam is so sad in a moonlight shadow
He watched his vision forming
Sam is so sad in a moonlight shadow
Stars were staring with a silvery light
Far away on the upper side
Master, come to talk to me this night
But he found not yet how to push through

I stay, I pray, I see you in Aman far away
I stay, I pray, I see you in Aman one day

Far away on the other side.

Understanding yet wide-eyed was it really the best
Far away on the other side
The Elves were singing and the night was at rest
But he found not yet how to push through

I stay, I pray, I see you in Aman far away
I stay, I pray, I see you in Aman one day

I stay, I pray, I see you in Aman far away
I stay, I pray, I see you in Aman one day

I stay, I pray, I see you in Aman far away
I stay, I pray, I see you in Aman one day

The last time ever he had seen him
Carried away by a grey ship sailing
Crowd of old friends gathered just to leave with him
Carried away by a grey ship sailing
Understanding yet wide-eyed was it really the best
Far away to the other side
The Elves were singing and the night was at rest
But he found not yet how to push through

Carried away by a grey ship sailing
Carried away by a grey ship sailing
Far away to the other side.
But he found not yet how to push through
