Lay down your sweet and weary head night has fallen you have come to journeys end sleep now and dream of the ones who came before they are calling from across the distant shore
Why do you read what are these tears upon your face soon you will see all of your fears will pass away safe from my arms you're only sleeping
What can you see on the horizon why do the white gals 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 soals 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 gals 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
