sleep now and i'll be your moon

Lay down your sweet and weary head. Night is falling You have come to journey’s end. Sleep now and dream of the ones who came before. They are calling, from across the distant shore


Why do you weep? What are these 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

A light on the water
All souls pass


Hope fades ... into the world of nightOOOOOOOOOOOOo(day)
Through shadows falling
Out of memory and time


Don’t sayOOOOOOOOOOOOOOWe have come now to the end
White shores are calling

You and I will meet again.

And you’ll be here in my armsOOOOOOOOOOOOJust 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
A light on the water
Grey ships pass
Into the West
