|
Lay down |
|
Your sweet and weary head |
|
Night is falling |
|
You have come to journey's end |
|
Sleep now |
|
And dream of the ones who came before |
|
They are calling |
|
From across the distant shore |
|
Why do you weep? |
|
What are these tears upon your face? |
|
Soon you will see |
|
All of your fears will pass away |
|
Safe in my arms |
|
You're only sleeping |
|
[Chorus] |
|
What can you see |
|
On the horizon? |
|
Why do the white gulls call? |
|
Across the sea |
|
A pale moon rises |
|
The ships have come to carry you home |
|
And all will turn |
|
To silver glass |
|
A light on the water |
|
All souls pass |
|
Hope fades |
|
Into the world of night |
|
Through shadows falling |
|
Out of memory and time |
|
Don't say: "We have come now to the end" |
|
White shores are calling |
|
You and I will meet again |
|
And you'll be here in my arms |
|
Just sleeping |
|
[Chorus] |
|
And all will turn |
|
To silver glass |
|
A light on the water |
|
Grey ships pass |
|
Into the West |
