Lyrics

Lay down

your sweet and wea ry (Am)head.

Night is (G)fall ing,

you’ve come to jour ney’s (Am)end.

Sleep

(G)now

and (Dm)dream of the ones who come be (Am)fore.

’Cause they are (G)call ing

from a cross a dis tant (Am)shore.

Why do you weep?

What are these tears

up on your face?

Soon you will (C)see

all of your fears

will pass a way.

Safe in my arms,

you’re on ly (G)sleep

ing.

What can you see

on the ho ri zon?

Why do the white

A cross the sea

a pale moon ri ses,

the ships have come to car ry you (G)home.

And dawn will turn

A light on the (C)wa ter,

(Fsus2)all

Hope fades

in to the world of (Am)night,

through sha dows (G)fall ing

out of me mo ry and (Am)time.

Don’t

(G)say

White shores are (G)call ing,

you and I will meet a (Am)gain.

And you’ll be pass
