So, at this great new job assignment, I can listen to music. But I gotta do it with my own music thingie, and since I don't have a portable CD player (SHUT UP, I'm getting one next weekend), I brought my little ancient Walkman and have been exploring my long-ignored collection of audiotapes. Lots of lovely stuff there I haven't listened to in years.

So the other day I'm digging on my copy of CSNY's debut album, and came across a song so totally reminiscent of F/S, that I decided I had to post it here. I've modified it, of course, since the original in not about two hobbits fucking (and how's that for a Zen koan?) But I didn't have to change hardly anything except the title line. The result is below, and I think you'll agree that it's achingly appropriate.

My Hobbit of the Garden

Holding you close, undisturbed before the fire
The pressure in my chest when you breathe in my ear
We both knew this would happen
When I first appeared
My hobbit of the garden

The brownness of your body in the fire glow
Except the places where the sun refused to go
Our bodies were a perfect fit
In afterglow we lay
My hobbit of the garden

Letting myself wander through the world inside your eyes
You know I'd like to stay here until every tear is dried

Wrapped around each other in the peeping sun
Beams of sunshine light the bed
The morning's come
I never want to finish while I've just begun with you
My hobbit of the garden

Is that not lovely? *sigh* I'd forgotten all about that song, but I got a little tear when I heard it.
