Leaving the Shire Lyrics by Ted Nasmith

The Hidden Door: Songs in the Key of Enchantment

2012

[Verse 1]
Autumn is nigh
With the rising harvest moon
Seasons run by
And we must be leaving soon
Fate has called to those who brave would be
(Lalalalalalalala)
[Verse 2]
Winds of change whispered
To the heart anew
Down paths and lanes
Our fortune we pursue
Fate has called to those who brave would be
(Lalalalalalalala)
[Verse 3]
High hope and courage lead us on
Into the unknown
Farewell to days of youth
We now have forever outgrown
Though may the spirit of our youth
Be ever sure
(Lalalalalalalala)
[Verse 4]
Call to our task
Our course ahead agreed
Loathe tho’ to ask
Where the journey will us lead
Fate has called to those who brave would be
(Lalalalalalalala)
[Verse 5]
Off now we go
Flying with the wayward breeze
Sun sailing o’er
Hear the wind rush in the trees
Brave travelers fare ye well
As you rise to meet your call
And seek the way
(Lalalalalalalala) [3x]
