We're waiting for better weather on a ship
To pass in the night
Solve all of our problems for us on a ship
To pass in the night
We don't care if it's one way passage on a ship
To pass in the night
Keep all of the lanterns burning for the ship
To pass in the night

Suddenly you see a mast
Approaching you pretty fast
Hope it's not like the last
But it just sails right past

Keep scanning romantic oceans for the ship
To pass in the night
A kind of religious notion on a ship
To pass in the night
Or vote for a politician as a ship
To pass in the night
Or Pray for a good physician like a ship
To pass in the night

Suddenly you see a mast
Approaching you pretty fast
Hope it's not like the last
But it just sails right past
