about

The Academy Award-winning song from "Lord of The Rings - Return of the King." An evocation of the immortality of the soul and the promised reunion with those who have passed. Music by Howard Shore, lyrics by Annie Lennox and Fran Walsh. Guitarist - Owen Kortz

lyrics

Lay down your sweet and weary head
Night is falling, you have come to journey's end
Sleep now, and 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 tears will pass away.
Safe in my arms, you're only sleeping.

What can you see? On the horizon?
Why do the white gulls call?
Across the sea, a pale moon rises.
The ships have come to carry you home.
And all will turn to silver glass
A light on the water - all souls pass.

Hope fades, into the world of night
Through shadows falling, out of memory and time
Don't say we have come now to the end
White shores are calling
You and I will 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?
Across the sea, a pale moon rises.
The ships have come to carry you home.
And all will turn to silver glass
A light on the water - grey ships pass into the West.
