Into The West

Annie Lennox

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
Dm           G
You're only sleeping

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
Dawn 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
                        C
And you'll be here in my arms
    G
Just sleeping

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
