Across the ocean of the night
you turn and look into my eyes,
burn into my life.
Now the moment's magical
but we keep our silence
You could tell me anything you want,
you could tell me all your secret wishes;
only in our eyes, only in our eyes
we made the soul kiss
and we will never pass this way again
we will never know each other better;
ships pass in the night
and in their wake they leave just phosphorescence.
You could tell me any lies you want,
it wouldn't change the way I feel about this;
only in our eyes, only in our eyes
we made the soul kiss
and we will never pass this way again
but we'll always feel each other's presence...
ships pass in the night
and when we wake we're left with phosphorescence
