We walked to the sea just my father and me
and the dogs played around on the sand
Winter and 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 set and watched the distant lights
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 a part 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 just 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 just two ships that pass in the night
