Into the West Lyrics


Lay down
Your sweet and weary head
Night is falling
You have come to journeys endSleep now and dream
Of the ones who came before
They are calling
From across the distant shoreWhy 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 sleepingWhat 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 homeAnd all will turn to silver glass
A light on the water
All souls passHope fades
Into the world of night

Through shadows falling
Out of memory and timeDon'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 sleepingWhat 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 homeAnd all will turn to silver glass
A light on the water
Grey ships pass into the west

Enjoy the lyrics !!!
Annie Lennox is an Oscar, Brit and Grammy award-winning pop musician and vocalist. She was born on December 25, 1954 in Aberdeen, Scotland.

After three years as lead singer of The Tourists, Lennox achieved her most notable fame as the alto, soul-tinged lead singer of the 1980s rock duo Eurythmics with British musician Dave Stewart. Early in the Eurythmics' career, she was known for her androgyny, wearing suits and once impersonating Elvis. Journalists often referred to her as "the white Grace Jones".

Her 1992 album Diva won critical praise and sold well, but her profile decreased for a period due to her desire to raise her two children outside of the media's glare, although she continued to be a major figure in popular music. Medusa - an album of covers in which Lennox tackled songs by everyone from Bob Marley to The Clash - was released three years after Diva, and also sold well. In 1997 she re-recorded the Eurythmics track "Angel" for the Diana, Princess of Wales tribute album. In 1998 - following the death of a mutual friend (former The Tourists leader singer/songwriter Peet Coombes) - she re-established contact with Dave Stewart and by 1999, Eurythmics had reformed for the album Peace. In 2003 she released her third solo album, Bare.

In 2003, Lennox was chosen to record "Into the West" for the soundtrack of The Lord of the Rings: Return of the King. This song won an Academy Award for Best Song in 2003.

In October 2007, Annie released her fourth solo album, Songs Of Mass Destruction.
