safe in my arms / you're only sleeping
My random thought of the late/early hours: Into the West (yes, the LotR song) is so unbelievably gorgeous. Is it weird that this is the song that I want to sing as a lullaby to my kids (when I have kids)? It's just the most perfect go-to-sleep song ever, amirite? THIS TIME I AM COMPLETELY RIGHT.

Into The West
by Annie Lennox
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,
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.
ETA: Also Billy Boyd's Steward of Gondor song, although I get choked up when I hear it. Thank you, movies.

Why yes, I'm planning on rewatching all the movies and reveling in the glory that is LotR. ♥
BASICALLY WHAT I AM TRYING TO SAY IS THAT LOTR MUSIC IS MAGNIFICENT AND IF YOU DO NOT HAVE THE SOUNDTRACKS, GET THEM.
