- Into The West LyricsLay down
Your sweet and weary head
Night is falling
You’ve 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 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
[Chorus]
And all will turn
To silver glass
A light on the water
Grey ships pass
Into the West
Your sweet and weary head
Night is falling
You’ve 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 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
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
[Chorus]
And all will turn
To silver glass
A light on the water
Grey ships pass

✔️
It is first released on March 09, 2009 as part of Annie Lennox's album "The Annie Lennox Collection" which includes 37 tracks in total.
✔️
When we ask ourselves what the song was truly meant to express, eventually, the West performed by Annie Lennox is a deeply moving consideration of mortality and the passage to the next world, making use of metaphors such as ‘journey’s end’ and ‘boats taking you home’ to express life to death transformation. Most of the eastern lyrics are concerned with tranquility, contemplation, optimism, love, and nostalgia. However, the song also points out the need for comfort and reassurance, transition and journey, and hope and reunion. The words describe transitions, dreams, and a feeling of going away, which might be accepted by a wide audience but really intended for adults due to the somewhat abstract and melancholic character of the content. There is no bad language, no violence, and no sexual content, but the themes might need some clarification for the younger ones.
