J. R. R. Tolkien
To the Sea
[Chorus]
To the sea, to the sea
The white gulls are crying
The wind is blowing
And the white foam is flying
West, west away
The round sun is falling
To the sea, to the sea
Do you hear them calling?

[Verse 1]
Grey ship, grey ship
Do you hear them calling?
The voices of my people
That have gone before me
I will leave, I will leave
Depart the land that bore me
To the sea, to the sea
Do you hear them calling?

[Verse 2]
For our days are ending
And our years are failing
I will cross the wide waters
Lonely sailing
Long are the waves
Upon the Last Shore falling
O'er the sea, o’er the sea
Voices sweetly are calling
[Verse 3]
Voices sweet, voices sweet
From the Lost Isle are calling
Land of my people
Where the leaves there [do?] fall
There in Eressea, in Elvenhome
That no man can discover
O'er the sea, o'er the sea
The land of my people - forever

[Chorus]
To the sea, to the sea
The white gulls are crying
The wind is blowing
And the white foam is flying
West, west away
The round sun is falling
To the sea, to the sea, to the sea
Do you hear them calling?
