We walked to the sea, just my father ´n´ me
And the dogs played around on the sand
Winter cold cut the air, hangin´ still ev´rywhere
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
