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

(chorus)
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 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, we're far away"
We only read you when you write

(chorus 2x)

We're just two ships that pass in the night
We both smile and we say it's alright
We're still here
It's just that were out of sight...
