Be Bop Deluxe Lyrics
"Ships in the Night"

Like a square peg in a round hole,
Like a harp without it's 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 got no treasures,
Without love, my chance is slim.

Without love, we are like ships in the night,
Without love, selling our soulds down the river,
Sailing away and forver,
Our pleasure is blue.
