Annie Lennox, London Philharmonic Orchestra, Howard Shore - Into The West

Lay down
Your sweet and weary head
Night is failing
You have come
To journey's end
Sleep now
And dream
Of the ones
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
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 failing
Out of memory and time
Don't say
We have come now to the end
White shores are calling
You and l 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
lnto the West



Into the West

Lay down,
Your sweet and weary head
Nights is falling,
You have come to journey’s end
Sleep now,
And dream of the ones 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,
You’re only sleeping.

[Chorus:]
What can you see
On the horizon?
Why do the whites’ 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 in 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.

[Chorus:]
What can you see
On the horizon?
Why do the whites’ 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 in the water
Grey ships pass
Into the West


Into the West

Lay down
Your sweet and weary head
Night is falling
You've come to journey's end
Sleep now
And dream of the ones 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
You're only sleeping

[Chorus:]
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

[Chorus:]
And all will turn
To silver glass
A light
On the water
Grey ships pass
Into the West
