Lyrics
Ships In The Night
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
Like a suqare peg in a round hole...
Like a harp without its strings...
Like a sailor who sails no oceans,
Like a bird that has no wings...
Without love, I am a desert,
Without love, my light is dim...
Without love, I have no treasures...
Without love, I cannot win
(Without love) ... We are like ships in the night
(Without love) ... Selling our souls down the river
Sailing away and forever our pleasure is blue....
Like a dream that has no dreamer,
Like a cloud without a sky...
Like a truth with no believer,
Like a mother without a child...
Without love, I have no pleasures,
Without love, my light is dim...
Without love, I have no treasures...
Without love, my chance is slim
(Without love) ... We are like ships in the night
(Without love) ... Selling our souls down the river
Sailing away and forever our pleasure is blue....
