Ships Lyrics - This One's For You: A Piano Tribute To Barry Manilow - David Osborne

We walked to the sea, just my father 'n' me 

And the dogs played around on the sand 

Winter cold cut the air, hangin' still ev'rywhere 

Dressed in gray, did he say hold my hand 

I said love's easier when it's far away 

We sat 'n 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 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 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
