IAN HUNTER - SHIPS Lyrics

We walked to the sea, just my father and meAnd the dogs played around on the sand.Winter cold cut the air, hanging still everywhereDressed in gray did he say hold my hand? I said love’s easier when it’s far awayWe sat and watched the distant lights.We’re two ships that pass in the nightAnd we smile when we say it’s alright.We’re still here, it’s just that we’re out of sightLike 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 wideWays apart as we drift on through time.He said it’s harder now you’re far awayWe only read you when you write.We’re two ships that pass in the nightWe both smile when we say it’s alright.We’re still here, oh it’s just that we’re out of sightLike those ships that pass in the night.We’re two ships that pass in the nightWe’re two ships that pass in the nightWe’re two ships that pass in the night(repeat and fade)
