Ships

Music and Lyrics by 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

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 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 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 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
