Annie Lennox Into The West Lyrics

Into The West Lyrics

Lay down
Your sweet & weary head
Night is falling
You have come to
journey's end

Sleep now
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 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
