Intro
VERSE 1
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 the 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.
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
VERSE 2
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 her in my arms
Just 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
Grey ships pass, into the west

About this song: Into The West
"Into the West" is a song written by Fran Walsh, Howard Shore, and Annie Lennox, and performed by Lennox. The song plays during the closing credits of the movie The Lord of the Rings: The Return of the King. It has also been recorded by New Zealand singers Yulia Townsend and Will Martin.

Several phrases from the song are taken from the last chapter of The Return of the King.
