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
