C G
Lay down
Dm Am
Your sweet and weary head
C G
Night is falling
Dm Am
You’ve come to journey's end
C G
Sleep now
Dm Am
And dream of the ones who came before
C G
They are calling
Dm Am
From across the distant shore
C
Why do you weep?
F G Am
What are these tears upon your face?
C
Soon you will see
F G Am
All of your fears will pass away
C
Safe in my arms
F G
You're only sleeping
[Chorus]
C
What can you see
F
On the horizon?
C G
Why do the white gulls call?
C
Across the sea
F
A pale moon rises
C G
The ships have come to carry you home
Am Em
And all will turn
Dm G
To silver glass
Am C
A light on the water
F G
All souls pass
C G
Hope fades
Dm Am
Into the world of night
C G
Through shadows falling
Dm Am
Out of memory and time
C G Dm Am
Don't say: «We have come now to the end»
C G
White shores are calling
Dm Am
You and I will meet again
C
And you'll be here in my arms
F G
Just sleeping
[Chorus]
C
What can you see
F
On the horizon?
C G
Why do the white gulls call?
C
Across the sea
F
A pale moon rises
C G
The ships have come to carry you home
Am Em
And all will turn
Dm G
To silver glass
Am C
A light on the water
F G
Grey ships pass
C
Into the West
