Ships in the Night

Summer passed by before I could bat an eye
 Tequila sunsets and bleak sunrises
 There's no more long days now, no more prize fighting
 I'll even cut down on the drinking, just please no more surprises
 I see her wave to me, covered it from A to Z
 With a look so heavenly, that she's no longer giving me
 Ships pass by outside the window in my room
 They only know where they've been, and where they're going to
 They pass so mightily, steady in their gaze
 They pass by each other without so much as a wave
 Ships in the night are we, convinced we're gonna be
 Reunited come the day
 Hey, my brother, how you been?
 While I've been blinded by my own
 Worries and stories and this sense that I'm alone
 Heaven zips by a million more ships in the night
 And a trillion tons of gases from a billion silly asses
 And I still pray for the masses as we fight the bloody fight
 But bodies cannot stop these jacked up, gakked up ships in the night
 And I reach out in the darkness for somebody I might hold
 I reach out to the cosmos by staring at my phone
 I reach a state of ecstasy, I return to despair
 I remain educated, well-informed, and unaware
 But my sister, my sister, I swear that I am good
 Reach your arms around me, and tell me that I'm understood
 I can't believe the things for which I'm forced to take a stand
 I can't believe that I'm the problem, not the plan
 I can't believe that we elected that man
 Yes I can, yes I can, yes I can, yes I can
 Ships in the night are we, miss each other entirely
 From cradle to the grave without so much as a wave
 And my, my, hey, hey, looks like the sky is falling down
 No it's, it's my time, it's your time, it's all just comin' 'round
 Run up the mountain and hide out while you can
 There's a storm comin' full of lonely disaffected angry men
 And father time knows the way, the cancer grows inside of me
 And who will hold my hand when I'm in my final bed
 When ships in the night are we
 Ships in the night are we
 Miss each other entirely
 Ships in the night are we
 Someone shine your light on me
 Someone shine your light on me
 Ships in the night are we
