It's been too long since I've rested
and given my heart a chance to heal
rubbed oil into my calloused soul
and let my tender places feel
Now I return to Rivendell
where my torn heart will always stay
the place my spirit longs to be
from which my body's cursed to stray
Here I take off all my armor
and I wash clean my grimy skin
and put on a soft clean robe
and breath a safe breath once again
Here my deep woulds will be treated
and here I will not have to grieve
except for the tears that will come
when my quest compels me to leave
