Eleyan Teyal Al'Landerin


My home is waiting there for me and the girl I left behind

Of all the treasures that wait for me, that's what I want to find

Her eyes so merry and her smile so sweet

Her hug so warm and her ankle neat

Her kisses soft, now there's a treat

If there's a treasure greater, it lies not in my mind.


Oh, I have seen stark Tarwin's Gap and the Trollocs' raving horde

And I've stoof 'fore the Halfman's charge and walked on death's cold board

But a winsome lass, she waits for me

For a dance and a kiss 'neath the apple tree

Her embrace full for all to see

If there's a treasure greater, it lies not in my mind.


The nights are long at Tarwin's Gap and the darkness stark with fear

The shadows drive the soldiers mad and death is shining clear

But no despair can take my mind

For once I'm home I know I'll find

The lass who loves me true in kind

If there's a treasure greater, it lies not in my mind.


Now I have come from Tarwin's Gap. I may not make it home

But as I lay upon the field, I do not lay alone

My love is always waiting nigh

The breeze reminds me of her sigh

And I shall love her 'till I die

If there's a treasure greater, it lies not in my mind.

If there's a treasure greater, it lies not in my mind.
