Intro

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

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

Dawn 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

All will turn

To silver glass

A light on the water

Grey ships pass

 Into the west
