Ships lyrics

We walked to the sea, just my father and me

And the dogs played around on the sand

Winter cold cut the air, hangin' still everywhere

Dressed in gray, did he say hold my hand

I said love's easier when it's far away

We sat 'n watched a distant light.

We're two ships that pass in the night

We both smile and we say it's alright

We're still here, it's just that we're out of sight

Like those ships that pass in the night.

There's a boat on the line where the sea meets the sky

There's another that rides far behind

And it seems you and I are like strangers a wide ways apart

As we drift on through time

He said it's harder now we're far away

We only read you when you write.

We're two ships that pass in the night

And we smile when we say it's alright

We're still here, it's just that we're out of sight

Like those ships that pass in the night.

We're ships that pass in the night

And we smile when we say it's alright

We're still here, it's just that we're out of sight

Like those ships that pass in the night.

We're ships that pass in the night

And we smile when we say it's alright

We're still here, it's just that we're out of sight.
