EDIT: 12/12/04 - Someone tells me these are song lyrics and not a poem, any idea what song and who sings it?
This brings back a few memories of me and my old GF.. wherever you are Cate, this one's for you
Lay down
your sweet and weary head
Night has fallen
you've 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 can you see on the horizon?
Why do the white doves call?
Across the sea, a billow rises
the ships have come to carry you home.
And all will turn to silver glass.
Alight on the water the souls will pass.
Hope fades
into the world of night.
Through shadow's folly
out of memory and sight.
Don't say we have come now to the end
White shores are calling
you and I will meet again.
And you will be here in my arms.
Just sleeping.
What can you see on the horizon?
Why do the white doves call?
Across the sea
a billow rises
The ships have come to carry you home.
And all will turn to silver glass
Alight on the water
grey ships pass
into the west.

Till next time
