we will meet again

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 a 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 do 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 fade
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
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 fade
to silver glass
a light on the water
all souls pass
into the west
