The Tolkien Coming of Age Club 2

[Theron Bugtussle]

Thanks to all for the warm welcome!

Mithadan, A coincidence? I listened to Come Sail Away on the way in to work today. It is rather dreamy, and starts off like it could well be a road-trip song, or a seafaring song. Maybe Legolas when he heard the seagulls for the first time, after being warned by Galadriel that he would be done for.

Lemme see if I can remember the first lines...

I'm sailing away
Set an open course for the virgin sea
'Cause I've got to be free
Free to face the life that's ahead of me

On board I'm the Captain
So climb aboard
We'll search for tomorrow
On every shore

And I'll try,
Oh, Lord, I'll try
to carry on...

P.S. Woohoo! I have an avatar now! Thanks to one of our illustrious B-D members. [img]smilies/biggrin.gif[/img]

Oh, and Estelyn, I just happened on that Gandalf quote in my sig the other day. I think I am reading LotR for the first time in...well, do you know what "a coon's age" is? It's been about that long. [img]smilies/smile.gif[/img]
