歌词
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
What can you see (What catches your eye?)
On the horizon?
Why do the white gulls call? (Why do they call?)
Across the sea (Oceans away)
A pale moon rises
The ships have come to carry you home (They've 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've come) Don't say:
(To the end) We have come now to the end
(White shores call) White shores are calling
(We'll meet again) You and I will meet again - (You'll be here)
And you'll be here in my arms
Just sleeping
What can you see (What catches your eye?)
On the horizon?
Why do the white gulls call? (Why do they call?)
Across the sea (Oceans away)
A pale moon rises (The ships have come)
The ships have come to carry you home
And all will turn
To silver glass
A light on the water
Grey ships pass
Into the West
