ANNIE LENNOX - Into The West (acoustic Edit) lyrics
rate meLay down<br />
your sweet and weary head<br />
Night is falling,<br />
you have come to journey's end.<br />
Sleep now,<br />
and dream of the ones who came before.<br />
They are calling<br />
from across the distant shore.<br />
Why do you weep?<br />
What are these tears upon your face?<br />
Soon you will see<br />
all of your fears will pass away,<br />
safe in my arms<br />
you're only sleeping.<br />
<br />
What can you see<br />
on the horizon?<br />
Why do the white gulls call?<br />
Across the sea<br />
a pale moon rises --<br />
The ships have come to carry you home.<br />
<br />
Dawn will turn<br />
to silver glass<br />
A light on the water<br />
All souls pass.<br />
<br />
Hope fades<br />
into the world of night<br />
through shadows falling<br />
out of memory and time.<br />
Don't say,<br />
"We have come now to the end."<br />
White shores are calling<br />
you and I will meet again.<br />
<br />
And you'll be here in my arms<br />
Just sleeping.<br />
<br />
What can can you see<br />
on the horizon?<br />
Why do the white gulls call?<br />
Across the sea<br />
a pale moon rises --<br />
The ships have come to carry you home.<br />
<br />
And all will turn<br />
to silver glass<br />
A light on the water<br />
Grey ships pass<br />
Into the west.
