Harbor by Vienna Teng
You've got a journey to make
There's a horizon to chase
So go far beyond where we stand
No matter the distance, I'm holding your hand.
We'll Meet Again by Vera Lynn
We'll meet again
Don't know where, don't know when
But I know we'll meet again some sunny day
Keep smiling through
Just like you always do
'Til the blue skies drive the dark clouds far away
The Skye Boat Song by Kathryn Jones & Raya Yarbrough
Elwing often feels much older than she is and struggles to guide the remnants of the Doriathrim without the guidance of her parents or many of their advisors who were lost in Menegroth.
Billow and breeze, islands and seas
Mountains of rain and sun
All that was good, all that was fair
All that was me is gone.
Sing me a song of the lass that is gone
Say, could that lass be I?
A Day Without Rain by Enya
Earendil and Elwing find peace in each other.
Into the West by Annie Lennox
Earendil and Elwing were both called away from Middle-earth, even if they were not ready to leave. They hope that on the far shore they will see their sons and their families again.
What can you see
On the horizon?
Why do the white gulls call?
Across the sea
A pale moon rises
The ships have come to carry you home
Dream a Little Dream of Me by Ella Fitzgerald & Louis Armstrong
Even apart, Earendil and Elwing promise to think often of each other.
Sweet dreams till sunbeams find you
Sweet dreams that leave all worries behind you
But in your dreams whatever they be
Dream a little dream of me
Song of the Sea by Song of the Sea
A song from the Havens at Sirion.
From the shell
The song of the sea
Neither quiet nor calm
Searching for love again
Un Jour Il Viendra by Sarah Brightman
Un jour il viendra
Mon bel amour d'hier
L'amour reviendra
Par un jour de lumière
Dans les heures qui viennent
Ou bien l'année prochaine
Peu m'importe j'attends
Car c'est crochaine
Et je l'attendrai même plus longtemps
English trans.
One day he will return
My dear love from yesterday
Love will return
On a day of light
In the hours that come
Or in the coming year
I don't care if I have to wait
Because it is the man I love
And I will be waiting for him even longer
Madama Butterfly (One Fine Day) by Hayley Westenra
I stay upon the brow of the hill
And wait there and wait for a long time
From out the crowded city, there is coming
A man in the distance climbing the hill
Beyond the Sea by Bobby Darin
Somewhere beyond the sea
Somewhere waiting for me
My lover stands on golden sands
And watches the ships that go sailing
Somewhere beyond the sea
She's there watching for me
If I could fly like birds on high
Then straight to her arms
I'd go sailing
Anywhere Is by Enya
To leave the thread of all time
And let it make a dark line
In hopes that I can still find
The way back to the moment
I took the turn and turned to
Begin a new beginning
Main Theme by Howl's Moving Castle
Happy days in the Havens (✿◡‿◡)
I Will Wait by Mumford and Sons
Well I came home
Like a stone
And I fell heavy into your arms
These days of dust
Which we've known
Will blow away with this new sun
...
And I will wait, I will wait for you
Come Away to the Water by Maroon 5
The Feanorians hunt for Elwing in the Havens.
Come away little lamb
Come away to the water
Give yourself so we might live anew
Come away little lamb
Come away to the slaughter
To the ones appointed to see this through
We are calling for you
We are coming for you.
Lullaby by Nolwenn Leroy
Elwing sings a lullaby to her sons.
Oh, won't you come with me?
Where the moon is made of gold
And in the morning sun
We'll be sailing
Oh, won't you come with me?
Where the ocean meets the sky
And as the clouds roll by
We'll sing the song of the sea.
Back to You by Twin Forks
Elwing and Earendil are determined to find each other again, always.
I trust the signs
So I may find
My way to you
Back to you, back to you
Follow the signs
Right back to you
Back to you, back to you.
