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, loves easier when it's far away We sat and watched a distant light Were two ships that pass in the night We both smile and we say it's alright Were still here Its just that were 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, were far away We only read you when you write
Were two ships that pass in the night And we smile when we say it's alright Were still here Its just that were out of sight Like those ships that pass in the night
