Here is the full version of Billy Boyd’s song ‘The Last Goodbye’ which will feature with the end credits of The Hobbit: The Battle of the Five Armies. Billy, who co-wrote the song with Fran Walsh and Philippa Boyens said, “I wanted the song to be a goodbye to all the fans who have been part of this amazing journey and to the whole world of Tolkien as it has been told in the cinema for our generation.”
I’m sure he’s succeeded. What do you think?
The soundtrack will be released on 16 December 2014.
“The Last Goodbye”
I saw the light fade from the sky
On the wind I heard a sigh
As the snowflakes cover my fallen brothers
I will say this last goodbye
Night is now falling
So ends this day
The road is now calling
And I must away
Over hill and under tree
Through lands where never light has shone
By silver streams that run down
To the sea
Under cloud beneath the stars
Over snow on winter’s morn
I turn at last to paths that lead home
And though where the road then takes me I cannot tell
We came all this way but now comes the day to bid you farewell
Many places I have been
Many sorrows I have seen
But I don’t regret
Nor will I forget
All who took that road with me
Night is now falling
So ends this day
The road is now calling
And I must away
Over hill and under tree
Through lands where never light has shone
By silver streams that run down
To the sea
To these memories I will hold
With your blessing I will go
To turn at last to paths that lead home
And though where the road then takes me I cannot tell
We came all this way but now comes the day to bid you farewell
I bid you all a very fond farewell
