A Ship Is Passing Lyrics

I could have been insomnia
On a misty night
The sound of your own breath
Keeps you from sleeping
So strange this stillness
In the middle of the night
The fog horn's blowing in the distance

Is anybody out there
Is anybody out there

Get up, get dessed and out of here
For a midnight walk
Out of doors the deadness
Makes you shiver
Thick fog that swallows
Everything around
Try to find your way
Down to the river

Is anybody out there
Is anybody out there

Down by the riverbank
You see by the shadow
Moving water shows
Your ship is passing
The damn green light
Moving slowly from left to right
Wave a last goodbye out in the darkness
Is anybody out there
Is anybody out there

And if there is, good luck to you boys
And if there is anybody, good luck to you all
...
