B
Ship in the night, set sail away
After the sun left the gloom of day.
For I say,
"Where is your captain, there is no signal?"
Then a reply from the radio,
"The storm destroyed him and his vessel"
As I stand in the eye of the storm,
I give my peace,
As I remember our beginning
This tension between us is released.
Oh foolish man was I,
Held up by foolish pride,
Is this what it took to stop a cancerous divide?
Now what's left, leaves this man alive.
Oh Lord, change this stone to love divine.
As I visit his decaying bed
I said,
"Please pardon me"
But he was already dead.
Must I really pour my bleeding colors to deepest ocean?
Reaching as far as Sheol, of which I have no comprehension?
Like ships in the night
We kept passing each other by,
Trying to figure out who was right
We were like ships in the night,
Trying to find our light.
