Lay down your sweet and weary head.
Night is falling; 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?
Soons 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 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.
