Michael Johnson - Two Ships That Passed In The Moonlight lyrics

He was chasing fame and fortune, glory bound
He was too much in a hurry to slow down
And she was running from some devils
That she had inside of her
I'd like to say it was romantic but
The truth is that they were

Two ships that passed in the moonlight
Two stars that crossed around midnight
Without a chance either one
Might ever turn back
Two ships that passed in the moonlight
Two hearts that flashed on a hot night
And then sailed on till they lost sight
And never looked back
There the story might have ended but you see
On that cross was born a child
And that child was me
And darling now I must be going
Even though this might be love
I'd like to stay a little longer
But I'm just a product of

Two ships that passed in the moonlight
Two stars that crossed around midnight
Without a chance either one
Might ever turn back
Two ships that passed in the moonlight
Two hearts that flashed on a hot night
And then sailed on till they lost sight
And never looked back
