Words and Music by Fran Walsh, Howard Shore, Annie Lennox
Performed by Annie Lennox
Lay down,
Your sweet and weary head...
Night is falling,
You have come to journey's end...
Sleep now,
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 your fears will pass away...
Safe in my arms,
You're only sleeping...
(Chorus)
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...
(Repeat Chorus)
Spellbinding. No - I don't really understand what it means.
