Tarwin's Gap (song)
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.
