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 like ships that pass in the night
And we 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 sails 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 like ships that pass in the night
And we smile and we say it’s alright
But 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 in the in the night
