From the Floating Log at Frogmorton

Goodbye, Great Eastern Road

(by Elton John)

 

When are you gonna give up?

When will you leave me alone?

I shouldn't've put on the ring

I should've listened to Gandalf drone.

You know you can't chase me forever

There's only so much you can do.

As soon as I get onto Elrond's lands

This hobbit'll be free of you-oo-oo etc.

 

So goodbye, Great Eastern Road

Where the Ringwraiths scare even themselves.

You can't take me to the Dark Lord

I'm going back to the elves.

Off to the Last Homely House

The place where ol' Strider first strode.

One thing I know is that safety lies

Away from the Great Eastern Ro-o-oad etc.

 

What do you think you'll do now?

All of your horses are drowned.

Eight of 'em floated up dead by the river

The other one couldn't be found.

Maybe you'll get some replacements

Fell beasts that have outlived their day

Nurtured and fed by the Dark Lord himself

Will soon have you back under way-ay-ay etc.
