Oh my goodness, Nonnie – Sure thing! I hope you like, this was a bit on the tricky side but I am pretty pleased with how it turned out!:)

Writing out the story in the Red Book every day
I’m keeping the lamp lit while your light is away
He’s on the other side of twilight,
He tried to take back what was his,
But now the nights are growing darker,
and it is what it is.
Love doesn’t discriminate
Between the sinners
And the saints
It takes and it takes and it takes
And we keep loving anyway
We laugh and we cry
And we break
And we make our mistakes
And if there’s a reason beyond my pride
That I stayed by his side
Then I’m willing to wait for it
I’m willing to wait for it
My grandfather was a Thain and a great tactician
But there are things of which the Shire has no suspicion
My mother loved adventure
My father commanded respect
When they died they left no instructions
Just a legacy to protect

Death doesn’t discriminate
Between the sinners
And the saints
It takes and it takes and it takes
And we keep living anyway
We rise and we fall
And we break
And we make our mistakes
And if there’s a reason I’m still alive
When everyone who loves me has died
I’m willing to wait for it
I’m willing to wait for it
[DEAD DWARF PEANUT GALLERY ]
Wait for it
Wait for it
Wait for it
[BILBO]
Nothing is left in my life I can control
[DEAD DWARF PEANUT GALLERY]
Wait for it
Wait for it
Wait for it
Wait for it
[BILBO]
I am disreputable,
I am now a fairy tale
[DEAD DWARF PEANUT GALLERY]
Wait for it
Wait for it
Wait for it
Wait for it
[BILBO]
Always falling behind or there too late
[DEAD DWARF PEANUT GALLERY]
Wait for it
Wait for it
Wait for it
Wait for it
[BILBO]
Now all I have left is to grow old and wait
[DEAD DWARF PEANUT GALLERY]
Wait
Wait
Wait

Frodo faces an endless uphill climb
[ DEAD DWARF PEANUT GALLERY]
Climb
Climb
Climb

He has to save us all
He is so very small
[ DEAD DWARF PEANUT GALLERY ]
Small
Small
Small
Small

The Enemy’s pace is relentless
He wastes no time
[ DEAD DWARF PEANUT GALLERY ]
Time
Time
Time

Still Frodo answers the call.
The Ring doesn’t hesitate
It exhibits no restraint
It takes and it takes and it takes
And it will exploit any way
It eats you alive from inside
and it gnaws and it breaks
And if there’s a reason
It came to me when none could foresee, then damn it all —
[BILBO/DEAD DWARF PEANUT GALLERY]
I’m willing to wait for it
I’m willing to wait for it…
Life doesn’t discriminate
Between the sinners and the saints
It takes and it takes and it takes
And we keep living anyway
We rise and we fall and we break
And we make our mistakes
And if there’s a reason I’m still alive
When so many have died
Then I’m willin’ to—
[BILBO]
Wait for it…
Wait for it…
