The lyrics:

Lay down
Your sweet and weary head
Night is falling
You have 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 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
Until 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

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

“Run” – Snow Patrol

Two versions of “Run” by Snow Patrol. The first is the studio version, the other live. I really like the studio version, but once you hear the live version, it’s hard to not like it also because it’s more real. Great band!

“How Much It Hurts”

(click the arrow below to play)

I heard this (Song title: How Much it Hurts) on a burned CDR that my daughter had left in our car, one of her thousand burned CDR disks! I’ve learned from experience that there isn’t one single artist or song that I can come up with that she hasn’t already heard, and likely acquired. Click here to watch the video. The band’s official website is here. You can also listen to a longer version by clicking the audio player below
