Lyrics

Where once was light
Now darkness falls
Where once was love
Love is no more

Don't say - goodbye
Don't say - I didn't try...

These tears we cry
Are falling rain
For all the lies
You told us
The hurt, the blame

And we will weep
To be so alone
We are lost
We can never go home

So in the end
I will be what I will be
No loyal friend
Was ever there for me

Now we say - goodbye
We say - you didn't try...

These tears you cry
Have come too late
Take back the lies
The hurt, the blame

And you will weep
When you face the end alone
You are lost
You can never go home

You are lost
You can never go home

+== Lyrics ==
-<poem style="font-style:italic; margin-left:20px;">Alive without breath;
+<poem style="font-style:italic; margin-left:20px;">
-As cold as death;
+Where once was light
-Never thirsting, ever drinking;
+Now darkness falls
-Clad in mail never clinking.
+Where once was love
-Drowns on dry land,
+Love is no more
-Thinks an island
-Is a mountain;
-Thinks a fountain
-Is a puff of air.
-So sleek, so fair!
-What a joy to meet!
-We only wish
-To catch a fish,
-So juicy-sweet!</poem>
+Don't say - goodbye
-The following lines were added to the beginning, probably made up on the spot, as Gollum led [[Frodo]] and [[Sam]] out of the [[Emyn Muil]]:
+Don't say - I didn't try...
+These tears we cry
-<poem style="font-style:italic; margin-left:20px;">The cold hard lands,
+Are falling rain
-They bites our hands,
+For all the lies
-They gnaws our feet.
+You told us
-The rocks and stones
+The hurt, the blame
-Are like old bones
-All bare of meat.
-But stream and pool
-Is wet and cool:
-So nice for feet!
-And now we wish--</poem>
+And we will weep
-In the [[The Two Towers (film)|films]], an alternate but similar version is heard when Gollum catches a fish in the [[Forbidden Pool]]:
+To be so alone
+We are lost
+We can never go home
+So in the end
