Ships That Pass in the Night

We're waiting for better weather on a ship

To pass in the night

Solve all of our problems for us on a ship

To pass in the night

We don't care if it's one way passage on a ship

To pass in the night

Keep all of the lanterns burning for the ship

To pass in the night

Suddenly you see a mast

Approaching you pretty fast

Hope it's not like the last

But it just sails right past

Keep scanning romantic oceans for the ship

To pass in the night

Some kind of religious notion on a ship

To pass in the night

Or vote for a politician as a ship

To pass in the night

Or Pray for a good physician like a ship

To pass in the night

Suddenly you see a mast

Approaching you pretty fast

Hope it's not like the last

But it just sails right past
