1. Here You Cannot Leave Me
She knew the day would ev'r come
Her blood warned of this fate
Taking cold hands lovingly
The hour growing late
I have bid farewell our children
Now I bid farewell to you
Here you cannot leave me
This you cannot do
Arriving at the House of Kings
He spoke his last farewell
Lying down on regal bed
Where e'er my King will dwell
She stood alone in silence
Her tears made not a sound
Left to mourn in solitude
No footsteps on the ground
Wrapped in grief unfading
For love could not depart
She could not leave her love Estel
Who long had held her heart
Here you cannot leave me
Once again she cried
Bound to love eternal
Cursed a mortal bride
Refusing immortality
For love of Elessar
In pale mist now is dimming
Arwen Evenstar
