Annie Lennox lyrics - Into the West

album: The Annie Lennox Collection
genre: 

Lay down 
your sweet and weary head 
Night has fallen 
you have come to journey's end 
Sleep now 
and dream of the ones who came before 
They are calling 
from across a 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 

What can 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 
Grey ships pass 
Into the west
