Into the West Songtext
von Peter Hollens feat. Taylor Davis

Lay down
Your sweet and weary head
Night is falling
You′ve come to journey's end

Sleep now
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? (Why do they call?)
Across the sea
A pale moon rises
The ships have come to carry you home (have come to carry you home)

All will turn
To silver glass
A light on the water
All souls pass

(Don't say: We've come to the end)
(White shores calling)
(We′ll meet again)

And you′ll be here in my arms
Just sleeping

What can you see?
On the horizon
Why do the white gulls call? (Why do they call?)
Across the sea
A pale moon rises
The ships have come to carry you


And all will turn
To silver glass
A light on the water
Grey ships pass
Into the West
