Grey Havens

Verse 1 The tide is calling, ships set sail, The quiet sea, the final trail, A broken heart must say goodbye, As starlight lingers in the sky. Verse 2 The road goes ever, never ends, But some must part from dearest friends, The scars remain, the pain won’t fade, But love is stronger than the grave. Chorus Sail away, to the silver shore, The pain of war will haunt no more, Though the road may never end, This is farewell, my dearest friend. Verse 3 The west is waiting, calm and still, A gentle shore beyond the hills, Where weary souls at last find rest, And broken hearts are truly blessed. Verse 4 So sing the songs of what we’ve done, The battles lost, the victories won, The king remains, the crown will shine, But some must sail beyond all time. Chorus Sail away, to the silver shore, The pain of war will haunt no more, Though the road may never end, This is farewell, my dearest friend. Bridge Every journey meets its close, Every river finds its road, Though the tears fall, though hearts break, Love is stronger than the grave. Chorus (soft, fading) Sail away, to the silver shore, The pain of war will haunt no more, Though the road may never end, This is farewell, my dearest friend. Outro The sails are gone, the waves still sing, The Grey Havens hide the song of spring.
