The only theme I can see so far is never-endingness.
I wonder if 'morrowless' might be the best one to start with, because it sounds simpler than the others. It refers to 'nightshade' ... 'And woods of nightshade morrowless.' (Last verse of the Song of Beren and Luthien). The nightshade never ends. (Because the morning/morrow never comes).
Legolas will never have peace again in Middle-earth if he hears the gulls. And if he sails west, he can never come back. And he's immortal.
The road goes EVER on and on.
Tom's songs go on for ever ... I mean he does.
In the dim morning Theoden rides out from dark Dunharrow, and never comes back (alive, that is).
