Ian Hunter - Ships lyrics

(ian hunter) 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 pa** 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 pa** 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 you're far away We only read you when you write. We're two ships that pa** 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 pa** in the night. We're two ships that pa** in the night We're two ships that pa** in the night We're two ships that pa** in the night (repeat and fade)
