Though the sun has gone down we set our course coming from the western sea
I meet you and I want you but I'm too shy to ask If you'll come back with me
And the star out there will always shine on you
So I'll know the way to go
But I'll slowly pass along 'til the breaking of dawn I'm sailing on these
Ships In the Night
Well I hold you and we kiss and I know that I've missed the only chance I may ever have
Though I could go back but it's hope in the wind for we can't relive the past
And the days go by in the blinking of an eye and I hope you'll understand
So that when you think of me I'll be far away at sea
I'm sailing on these
Ships In the Night
Well I dream and I cry and I ask myself why as I lie awake in bed
All about you and the things that you do and I hope you've remembered the things I said
And the waves crash down and they break up the sound
And I try to forget you with all my might
And when you walk along the beach know that I'm far out of reach
For it was only Ships In the Night
