C        G
 Lay down
Dm                    Am
 Your sweet and weary head
C         G
 Night is falling
Dm                        Am
 Youâ??ve 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

             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

[Chorus]
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   Dm                        Am
 Don't say: «We have come now to the end»
C                 G
 White shores are calling
Dm                    Am
 You and I will meet again
                         C
And you'll be here in my arms
F      G
 Just sleeping

[Chorus]
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
