[Verse 1]
C    G
Lay down 
Dm                   Am
Your sweet and weary head 
C           G
Night is falling,
Dm                         Am
You have 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

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 
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

[Verse 2]
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
Don't say 
        Dm              Am
We have come now to the end
C                G
White shores are calling 
Dm                      Am
   You and I will meet again

              Am         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
