Barry Manilow - Ships lyrics

We walked to the sea Just my father and me And the dogs played around on the sand Winter cold cut the air Hangin' 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 a distant light We're two ships that pa** 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 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, we're far away We only read you when you write 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 repeat
