Into The West Lyrics

Lay down your sweet and weary head
Night is falling you have come to journeys 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 plough us 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 where the moon rises the ships have come to carry you home
Hope fades into the world of night
through shallows 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 where the moon rises the ships have come to carry you home
And all will turn to seal the glass
a light on the water grey ships pass
Into the West
