I love you too much to watch you leave,
So much that while you’re gone, my heart shall grive.
My heart will break, and I will die,
My last breath will be a lonely sigh.

When the leaves fall down,
My heart will follow them.
When the leaves fall down,
My life will follow them.

Why must you leave to go on the journey?
Why must you go?
Why must you say farewell to me?
Why must you leave me so?

When the leaves fall down,
My heart will follow them.
When the leaves fall down,
My life will follow them.

To much in life there is,
To give your life away.
Love of your kin is what lives,
So now, I must say:

When the leaves fall down,
My heart will follow them.
When the leaves fall down,
My life will follow them.

To destroy a Ring is why you leave,
You leave me here to die.
My heart shall fall, you will see,
You’re ending my very life.

When the leaves fall down,
My heart will stop beating.
When the leaves fall down,
My life will end.

Now you know, Prince of the Woods,
That if you leave me now.
My heart will fail; my life will fail,
And you will lose me somehow.

When the leaves fall down,
My heart will stop beating.
When the leaves fall down,
My life will end.

I watch you leave to go on our quest,
I also watch the leaves fall.
I closed my eyes and laid down to rest,
And throughout Rivendell, you could hear the Elves sad call:

When the leaves fell down,
Her heart stopped beating.
When the leaves fell down,
Her life had ended….
