Lay down
|
Your sweet and weary head
|
Night is falling
|
You've 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
|
|

Into The West
