Bright Eyes

I watched your ship out at sea.
Riding proud through the waves.
The sails were full, and the foam did break,
Bright white on her prow.

Here I stand alone on the shore.
Awaiting your safe return.
My heart tells me it will be long before,
I see your face.
And we are,
together once more!

Sailing,
Far beyond the horizon,
Westward,
Asking forgiveness of our deeds,
Your ship must safe guard you o’er the waves,
And to the Golden lands.
Sailing.

I can hear your cry from the shore
I can feel your life pass away.
I know I shall never see you again,
You have passed into the sea!

But our sons shall carry our names!
Forward to great fame,
Elrond and Elros shall always be,
A shining light,
A guide,
for all to see!

Sailing,
Far beyond the horizon,
Westward,
I ask forgiveness for our deeds,
My ship saw me safely o’er the seas
And to the Golden lands
Sailing.

Sailing,
Together and forever,
Sailing,
We were forgiven for our deeds,
Together we remain for ever more
Sailing the western sea,
Sailing.
