Lay Down

Your sweet and weary head

You're only sleeping

On the horizon.

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.

Through shadows falling,

Out of memory and time.

We have come now to the end.

You and I will meet again.

And you'll be here in my arms

Just sleeping.

On the horizon.
