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 the 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
we're just 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
