The Last Goodbye is the ending credit song from the film The Hobbit: The Battle of the Five Armies. It was written and performed by Billy Boyd.[1]
Lyrics
I saw the light fade from the skyOn the wind I heard a sighAs the snowflakes cover my fallen brothersI will say this last goodbyeNight is now fallingSo ends this dayThe road is now callingAnd I must awayOver hill and under treeThrough lands where never light has shoneBy silver streams that run down to the SeaUnder cloud, beneath the starsOver snow one winter’s mornI turn at last to paths that lead homeAnd though where the road then takes meI cannot tellWe came all this wayBut now comes the dayTo bid you farewellMany places I have beenMany sorrows I have seenBut I don’t regretNor will I forgetAll [who took the road with me]Night is now fallingSo ends this dayThe road is now callingAnd I must awayOver hill and under treeThrough lands where never light has shoneBy silver streams that run down to the SeaTo these memories I will holdWith your blessing I will goTo turn at last to paths that lead homeAnd though where the road then takes meI cannot tellWe came all this wayBut now comes the dayTo bid you farewellI bid you all a very fond farewell.
