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 pass through the ni-ight

A woman, one man, together but alo-o-o-o-one

Ships that pass 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 pass through the ni-ight

A woman, one man, together but alone

Ships that pass through the ni-ight

I reach out to touch you

But you're nowhere in sight



Ships that pass through the ni-ight

A woman, one man, together but alone-o-o-one

Ships that pass through the night

I reach out to touch you

But you're nowhere in si-i-i-i-ight



Oh, ships that pass through the night

A woman, one man, together but alo-o-o-o-one [fade]
