Memory

by Xiabelle

Midnight, not a sound from the forest
Have the wraiths lost their memory
Ring is shining alone.
In the torchlight the withered leaves collect at my feet
And the wind begins to moan.
Daylight, see the dew on the sunflower
And a rose that is fading
Roses wither away
Like old Smeagol I yearn to keep the ring for my own
I am waiting for the day
Now Old Sauron and Saruman, just before dawn
Through a silence you feel you could cut with a knife
Announces the bearer who can now be reborn
And come back to a different hobbiton life
Memory, turn your face to the moonlight
Let your memory lead you
Open up, enter in
If you find there the meaning of what happiness is
Then a new life will begin
Memory, all alone in the moonlight
I can smile at the old days
I was beautiful then
I remember the time I knew what happiness was
Let the memory live again
Burnt out ends of smoky days
The stale cold smell of morning
The starlight dies, another night is over
Another day is dawning
Daylight, I must wait for the sunrise
I must think of a new life
And I mustn't give in
When the dawn comes tonight will be a memory too
And a new day will begin
Sunlight, through the trees in the summer
Endless masquerading
Like a flower as the dawn is breaking
The memory is fading
Touch me, it's so easy to keep me
All alone with the memory
Of my days in the sun
If you touch me you'll understand what happiness is
Look, a new day has begun.
