Into the West Songtext

von Will Martin

Lay Down, your sweet and weary head
Night is falling, You have come to journey's end
Sleep now and dream of the one's who came before
They are calling, from across the 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
Your 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

Hope fades, into the world of night
Through shadows falling, out of memory & time
Don't say, we have come now to the end
White shores are calling, you and I will meet again
And you will 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 seal the glass
A light on the water
Grey ships past
Into the west
