Into The West

Lay down

Dm Am

Your sweet and weary head

Night is falling,

Dm Am

You have come to journey's end

Sleep now,

Dm Am

And dream of the ones who came before

They are calling

Dm Am

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

Am Em

Dawn will turn

To silver glass

A light on the water

All souls pass

Hope fades

Dm Am

Into the world of night

Through shadows falling

Dm Am

Out of memory and time

Don't say

Dm Am

We have come now to the end

White shores are calling

Dm Am

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

Am Em

And all will turn

To silver glass

A light on the water

Grey ships pass

Into the west
