Ian Hunter - Ships lyrics

(ian hunter)<br><br>We walked to the sea, just my father and me<br>And the dogs played around on the sand.<br>Winter cold cut the air, hanging still everywhere<br>Dressed in gray did he say hold my hand? <br>I said love's easier when it's far away<br>We sat and watched the distant lights.<br><br>We're two ships that pass in the night<br>And we smile when we say it's alright.<br>We're still here, it's just that we're out of sight<br>Like those ships that pass in the night.<br><br>There's a boat on the line where the sea meets the sky.<br>There's another that rides far behind.<br>And it seems you and I are like strangers a wide<br>Ways apart as we drift on through time.<br>He said it's harder now you're far away<br>We only read you when you write.<br><br>We're two ships that pass in the night<br>We both smile when we say it's alright.<br>We're still here, oh it's just that we're out of sight<br>Like those ships that pass in the night.<br><br>We're two ships that pass in the night<br>We're two ships that pass in the night<br>We're two ships that pass in the night<br><br>(repeat and fade)
