C
G
Lay down
Dm
Am
Your sweet and weary head
C
G
Night is falling,
Dm
Am
You have 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
Am
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
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
Don’t say
Dm
Am
We have come now to the end
C
G
White shores are calling
Dm
Am
You and I will meet again
Am
C
And you’ll be here in my arms
F
G
Just sleeping
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
G
C
Dm
Am
F
Em
