Tired of pretending that everything is fine
Making like there's nothing wro-ong
We're lovers all the time
But when we're alone with no eyes to see the play-ay
Strangers then sharin' roo-ooms
With nothing left to say
Ships that pa** through the ni-ight
A woman, one man, together but alo-o-o-o-one
Ships that pa** through the ni-ight
I reach out to tou-ouch you
But you're nowhere in sight
Your eyes tell me nothing about the way you feel
I'd like to talk it over but your lips are gently sealed
Let's stop pretending and living out this lie
Maybe we can work it ou-out
Let's give it one more try
Ships that pa** through the ni-ight
A woman, one man, together but alone
Ships that pa** through the ni-ight
I reach out to touch you
But you're nowhere in sight
Ships that pa** through the ni-ight
A woman, one man, together but alone-o-o-one
Ships that pa** through the night
I reach out to touch you
But you're nowhere in si-i-i-i-ight
Oh, ships that pa** through the night
A woman, one man, together but alo-o-o-o-one [fade]
