"I need a holiday, Gandalf. A very long holiday. And I
don't expect I shall return. In fact, I mean not to....
(music swells)
Sitting at home,
In my hole, all on my own.
Any hobbit would envy me.
But I need more,
Need to see the dragons soar
Beyond the Shire, a little past Bree...
(crescendo)
To see the elves and the dwarves and kings
To see spiders and trolls and rings
To visit with Elrond and then,
The Mountains, I must see the mountains again.
Frodo's a good lad,
There no arguing that.
But lately I'm just feeling thin.
Like butter on too much bread,
I feel like I should be dead.
And I must get away from my kin...
To see the elves and the dwarves and kings
To see spiders and trolls and rings
To visit with Elrond and then,
The Mountains...
Yes, those mountains...
(music fades to a sad, longing whisper)
I must see ... the mountains... again."
