This Is My Death (This Is My Life by Billy Joel)

Got a card from my cousin
He wrote by the Quick Post
Said he's headin' down South before he goes away
Left our holes, left our sons, not quite sure about our wives, though
Got some ponies and headed down Isengard way.

I don't need you to worry for me, I'm past ninety
I am going to Gondor and not coming home.
I don't care what you say anymore, this is my death
And I want it in Gondor, so leave me alone

I never thought I'd get away alive from Morannon
I nearly died in Calenardhon and Echthelion
I had some fun; I'm not quite done.
And you can speak your mind, but I've got to run...

They will tell you you can't go Over Sea with the
Wise, then
Comes the author insisting that death is a "gift".
It's a gift I've refused for as long as I could, but
I have had some adventures, I'm not really miffed.

I don't need you to worry for me cause it's all right
I am going to Gondor and not coming home.
I don't care what they say anymore, this is my death
First I wanna see Arwen and the guy on the throne.
