They look so peaceful
We can't help thinking...
I can't help thinking
This could be me? Us?
But as I watch them,
There is no he, only me
No we, only me
And I want to touch the past
I watch them sleeping
Gollum... I chase Gollum away.
My love, I remember
So briefly, who I am
I am Smeagol, only Smeagol
And Smeagol, oh, if only, I would remain
But I remain...
I remain...
I lay my hand upon them
And the urge to snatch it
My Precious!
Away...I push it away
And the monster in me melts
Melts away into dust
That settles upon brows and creases
Of ancient, graying skin
And I, Smeagol
Only I remain.
If only for a moment
Gollum goes away
Only I remain.
