Ships In The Night

Words & music by Jonathan & Ken Stuart

© 2011 Noise Music BMI

Downin’ double bourbons at The Bluebird Café

I was sittin’ near enough so I could hear what he had to say

Stuck inside a memory of something just gone wrong

Over & over to himself he sang this song

CHORUS:

Talk was easy, love was light

Words we said then sounded so right

It was easy to love you now it’s easier to fight

Are we ships that should’ve passed in the night?

He said it didn’t matter, who was right and who was wrong

He said the worst was over but the hurting is never gone

Wouldn’t been so difficult it hadn’t been so long

With his head resting on his hands, to himself he sang this song

CHORUS

Couldn’t help but notice how his life resembled mine

It happened many years ago, but I think about it all the time

Tried to shake this feeling but it’s oh so hard to lose

And even though we walk alone, I’ve been inside your shoes

CHORUS
