Lennox, Annie - Into The West Lyrics






Lay 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

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

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

    She doesn't have a great singing voice. Her voice is too brassy and lacks overall beauty. This song is beautiful and deserves a better voice to sing it. Look up Kaitlyn Lusk for a perfect rendition.

  59. d.... ....

    I wish my father could have heard this before he passed on his own journey.

  60. L.... R....

    Sublime

  61. B.... T....

    Song is about ends, passing on to a new state, things fading away. It perfectly encapsulates bittersweet nostalgia. My innocence in my younger years fading, a time when I was in the grips of still exploring and falling in love with LOTR, obsessed with it. As I grew older and became more hardened by reality and growing up the magic of that time and the irreversibly of life hit me hard, there's a feeling of something lost never to be regained. A sort of bliss that covers that time like a soft, warming fog, like summers glow - now dispersed.

    Its a feeling that encapsulates that period of my life but LOTR was a part of it and as I grew up I began to see the other implications of the writing and the deeper beauty and philosophical or transcendentally magical aspects to it. However, its with that which knowledge is gained and bliss is lost and only then can you really appreciate what is gone.

    This song really strikes at the heart of that to me. The end of the books, the world fading and the magic disappearing in its original tranquil form and how it relates to life and aging.

  62. J.... D....

    I’m starting the trilogy tonight for the 300th time!! ❤️

  63. M.... ....

    Unbelievable that she can do this live, ffs, that's real talent...

  64. N.... N....

    May it be is a million times better. This is good

  65. S.... A....

    the emotions in ger voice are incredible. she truly is a wonderfull singer with an extraordinary voice.

  66. V.... 4....

    amazing artist

  67. s.... a....

    This is the one of the two songs that make me cry every time i listen to it... the other one is This is me by keale settle.

  68. A.... C....

    I sing this song to my sister all the time to get her to sleep. Works EVERY time! I love this song!

  69. Z.... E....

    I told my friends to play this song to my funeral!!!

  70. F.... V....

    HOw's that this song won but not Enya's May it be? WHY????!!

  71. r.... ....

    and the oscar goes to...Fran Walsh, Howard Shore and Annie Lennox one of the 11 and at every category the movie was nominated for was also won.

  72. J.... S....

    I don't like it. I love LOTR songs. But this song is weird and plastic

  73. V.... S....

    SICK. This gave my goose bumps all over. What a rendition, she is a wonderful woman.

  74. G.... O....

    INTO THE WEST

    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 the distant shore


    Why do 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

    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


    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

    NO OESTE

    Deite
    A sua doce e cansada cabeça
    A noite está caindo
    Você chegou ao fim da jornada
    Durma agora
    E sonhe com aqueles que vieram antes
    Eles estão chamando
    do outro lado da praia distante

    Porque você chora?
    O que são essas lágrimas em seu rosto?
    Em breve você verá
    Que todos os seus medos irão passar
    Seguro em meus braços
    Você está apenas dormindo

    O que você pode ver
    No horizonte?
    Porque as gaivotas brancas nos chamam?
    Do outro lado do mar
    Uma pálida lua se levanta
    Os navios vieram para te levar pra casa

    Então tudo se tornará
    Espelho prateado
    Uma luz sobre a água
    Todas as almas passarão

    A esperança se desvanece
    No mundo da escuridão
    Pelas sombras caindo
    Fora das memórias e do tempo
    Não diga
    "nós viemos agora, para o fim"
    Praias brancas nos chamam
    Você e eu nos encontraremos de novo

    E você estará aqui, em meus braços
    Apenas dormindo

    O que você pode ver
    No horizonte?
    Porque as gaivotas brancas nos chamam?
    Do outro lado do mar
    Uma pálida lua se levanta
    Os navios vieram para te levar pra casa

    Então tudo se tornará
    Espelho prateado
    Uma luz sobre a água
    Navios cinzentos passarão

    Rumo ao oeste

  75. D.... S....

  81. D.... B....

    We need a word that combines sublime, ethereal and angelic .... Annie is one of the most amazing artists, and this song was the perfect conclusion to the LOTR trilogy.

  82. S.... L....

    I have two grown children. I have dedicated a song to each of them. This is my song to daughter Bronwyn.

  83. S.... S....

    is it just me or is annie lennox not anywhere near as good live seemingly?

  84. C.... A....

    I remember waiting every movie of the trilogy, year after year. I love the books, so it was a very special event for me. I think I haven't felt like that with another movie saga.
