Lay Down, your sweet and weary head Night is falling, You have come to journey's end Sleep now and dream of the one's 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 Your 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 Hope fades, into the world of night Through shadows falling, out of memory & time Don't say, we have come now to the end White shores are calling, you and I will meet again And you will 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 seal the glass A light on the water Grey ships past Into the west
