We walked to the sea, just my father and me,
and the dogs played around on the sand.
Winter cold cut the air hangin still everywhere,
dressed in gray, did he say, Hold my hand ?
I said, Loves easier when its far away.
We sat and watched a distant light.
Were two ships that pass in the night,
we both smile and we say its alright.
Were still here, its just that were out of sight,
like those ships that pass in the ni.....ght.
Theres a boat on the line, where the sea meets the sky,
theres 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, its harder now, were far away,
we only read you when you write.
REPEAT CHORUS
