Kerry Logan - There and Back Again

Once comfortable in my Bag-End Hobbit hole
Never a feather in the wind
Up to my door, a Wizard and a swag of dwarves
Singing these songs that drew me in
To the 'Green Dragon' of all places
I run to meet these strangers' faces
Wondering who they think I'm s'posed to be

We went on in spite of the rain
And may your beard grow long and true
Somehow we found our way there and back again
Oh, but no prize was worth it without you

Leaving my home for a mountain far away
We were nearly run in by some trolls
To Rivendell, the last homely home here in the west
How could we bring ourselves to go?
To the Misty Mountains - to the Goblin King
At Gollum's hand, I found the ring
In the tunnels I thought I'd die for sure

But I ran out into the sunshine again
And may your beard grow long and true
Somehow we found our way there and back again
Oh, but no prize was worth it without you

Being rescued from the perils in pursuit
The Eagles brought us to their homes
In the Mirkwood dark, we lost our way
And the evils there would have us stay
But we refused to have it so

We left the forest into the world of men
And may your beard grow long and true
Somehow we found our way there and back again
Oh, but no prize was worth it without you

At the Longest Lake, with the Men of Dale
This Dwarven King, these men do hail
Our goal is near, we feel it so
To the Lonely Mountain we look to go
Through the Land of Smaug, we make our trails

For the good of all, this Dragon must be slain
And may your beard grow long and true
Somehow we found our way there and back again
Oh, but no prize was worth it without you

Proud stands the mountain; we brave the Dwarven Door
Inform the Dragon he must go
Mighty Smaug is slain by the Men of Dale - a fiery death
Though their greed sends them to war the throne
But the goblins come, evil is sworn
The Five Armies, they wage a war
Heroes come and heroes fall
The good triumph - the quest is done!
And we look to journey home

It's good to be in Bag-End again
And may your beard grow long and true
Somehow we found our way there and back again
Oh, but no prize was worth it without you
