no really, i LOVE this song

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 come before
They are calling from across the distant shore.

Why do you weep?
What are those 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;
The lights on the water,
All souls pass

Hope fades into the world at night
Through shadows forming, 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.
Then 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;
The lights on the water,
Grey ships pass into the West.
