Lay down Your sweet and weary head The 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
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
