The Last Goodbye Lyrics
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 and winter's morn
I turn at last to paths that lead home
And, oh, where the road then takes me,
I can not 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 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, oh, where the road then takes me,
I can not tell
We came all this way
But now comes the day
To bid you farewell
I bid you all a very fond farewell
On the wind I heard a sigh
As the snowflakes cover my fallen brothers
I will say this last goodbye
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 and winter's morn
I turn at last to paths that lead home
I can not tell
We came all this way
But now comes the day
To bid you farewell
Many sorrows I have seen
But don't regret
Nor will I forget
All who took that road with me
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
I can not tell
We came all this way
But now comes the day
To bid you farewell

This song was used at the end of The Hobbit: The Battle of the Five Armies. It tells a story of someone who fought in a battle and is forced to say farewell to those who he lost. It then speaks words of comfort, saying that all journeys must end. And when they do, you will go home finally to a place of rest.
