C G
Sleep now
Dm Am C
And dream of the ones who came before
G Dm
They are calling
Am
From across the distant shore
[Bridge]
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
[Pre-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
[Chorus]
Am Em
And all will turn
Dm G
To silver glass
Am C
A light on the water
F G
All souls pass
[Verse 3]
C G
Hope fades
Dm Am
Into the world of night
C G
Through shadows falling
Dm Am
Out of memory and time
[Verse 4]
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
C
And you'll be here in my arms
F G
Just sleeping
[Pre-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
[Chorus]
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
