1. We walked to the sea, just my father and me,
Em D

and
the dogs played around on the sand.

Winter cold cut the air hangin still everywhere,
Em D C

dressed
in gray, did he say, “Hold my hand” ?

I said, “Love’s easier when it’s
far away.”
Am C
D
We sat and watched a distant
light.
Bb Dm D# - F
We’re two ships that pass in the night,
Bb Dm
D# - F
we both smile and we say it’s
alright.
Bb Dm D#
We’re still here, it’s just that we’re out of
sight,
Bb F D# - F
like those ships that pass in the ni.....ght.

2. There’s a boat on the line, where the sea meets the sky,
Em D
C
there’s
another that rides far behind.
G
Em D B7
and
it seems you and I are like strangers, a wide
Em D C - D
ways
apart as we drift on through time.
G G7 C
He said, its harder now, we’re
far away,
Am C D
we
only read you when you write.

We’re two ships that pass in the night,

like those ships that pass in the ni.....ght.
