Into the West

Lay down
 Your sweet and weary head
 Night is falling
 You have come to journey's end
 Sleep now
 Dream of the ones who came before
 They are calling
 From across a 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
 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
 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
 Grey ships pass
 Into the west
