Into the West Words by Annie Lennox, Fran Walsh, Howard Shore © 2003, music by Howard ShoreC G F Am Lay down your sweet and weary head. C G F Am Night is falling. You have come to journey's end. C G F Am Sleep now, and dream of the ones who came before. C G F Am They are calling from across a 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, you're only sleeping. C F What can you see on the horizon? C G Why do the white gulls call? C F Across the sea a pale moon rises. C G The ships have come to carry you home. Am C F G And all will turn to silver glass. Am C A light on the water. F G All souls pass. C G F Am Hope fades into the world of night. C G F Am Through shadows falling out of memory and time. C G F Am Don't say we have come now to the end. C G White shores are calling. F Am You and I will meet again. C Am And you'll be here in my arms, F G Just sleeping. C F What can you see on the horizon? C G Why do the white gulls call? C F Across the sea a pale moon rises. C G The ships have come to carry you home. Am C F G And all will turn to silver glass. Am C A light on the water. F C Grey ships pass into the West.
