Lyrics
VERSE 1
It's been a long time since we've had a fight,
And that's not good, 'cause things just aren't right.
You don't talk and I don't listen to what you say.
There's a wall between us that widens everyday.
What happened to the life we wanted for our own?
Just blown away and battered by a mighty storm.
Now it's quiet like the calmest of the seas.
We're the captains, but it's not us, it's you and it's me.
CHORUS
Two ships passing silently in the night.
Two people together leading separate lives.
No communication as we're sailing out of sight-
Fast becoming lost on the horizon in the twilight.
Two ships passing silently in the night -
Oh, we're just two ships passing silently in the night.
VERSE 2
This house is cold, an icy wind invades the space
Where you and I made love and swept the tears away.
If I could speak and break the silent agony
Then we could heal the wounds and we'd no longer be
CHORUS
