D5         A5
Lay Down
G5                     B5
Your sweet and weary head
D5        A5
Night is falling
G5                         B5
You have come to journey's end


D5        A5
Sleep now
G5                            B5
Dream-of the ones who came before
D5          A5
They are calling
G5                      B5
From across a distant shore


B5            D5
Why do you weep?
G5             A5                   B5
What are these tears upon your face?
               D5
Soon you will see
G5         A5                   B5
All of your fears will pass away.
            D5
Safe in my arms
G5            A5
You're only sleeping
D5
What can you see?
G5
On the horizon.
D5                         A5
Why do the white gulls call?
D5
Across the sea
G5
A pale moon rises.
D5
The ships have come
             A5
To carry you home.
B5           D5    G5       A5
And all will turn to silver glass.
B5              D5
A light on the water
G5        A5
All souls pass.


D5     A5
Hope fades
G5                 B5
Into the world of night.
D5               A5
Through shadows falling,
G5                  B5
Out of memory and time.
D5        A5  
Don't say
G5                       B5
We have come now to the end.
D5                 A5
White shores are calling
G5                 B5
You and I will meet again.


              D5           G5
And you'll be here in my arms
        A5
Just sleeping.
D5
What can you see?
G5
On the horizon.
D5                       A5
Why do the white gulls call?
D5
Across the sea
G5
A pale moon rises.
D5
The ships have come
             A5
To carry you home.
B5           D5     G5       A5
And all will turn to silver glass.
B5              D5
A light on the water
G5          A5
Grey ships pass
           D5
Into the west.
