We walked to the sea, just my father and me   And the dogs played around on the sand   Winter cold cut the air, hanging still everywhere   Dressed in gray did he say hold my hand?      I said love's easier when it's far away   We sat and watched the distant lights      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, yeah      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   Wide ways apart as we drift on through time      He said it's harder now, you're far away   We only read you when you write      We're two ships that pass in the night   We both smile when we say it's alright   We're still here, oh, it's just that we're out of sight   Like those ships that pass in the night      We're just two ships that pass in the night   We're just two ships that pass in the night   We're just two ships that pass in the night   We're just two ships that pass in the night      We're just two ships that pass in the night   We're just two ships that pass in the night   Ships that pass in the night   We're just two ships that pass in the night
