Lyrics:
I sang of leaves, of leaves of gold
And leaves of gold there grew
Of wind I sang
A wind there came
And in the branches blew
Beyond the sun
Beyond the moon

Oh Lorien, the winter comes
The bare and leafless day
The leaves are falling in the stream
The river flows away
Beyond the sun
Beyond the moon

Oh Lorien
Too long I have lived upon this hither shore
And in a fading crown
Have twined the golden elanor
Oh Lorien
Too long I have lived upon this hither shore
And in a fading crown
Have twined the golden elanor

But if of ships I now should sing
What ship would come to me
What ship would bear me ever
Back across so wide a sea
Beyond the sun
Beyond the moon

Beyond the sun
Beyond the moon
