[Verse 1] I keep a candle in the glass For when the harbor calls you home I tell myself this too shall pass But I can't face the night alone [Chorus] Your lantern glows across the bay Mine's flickering, burning just as bright So drop your anchor, love, and stay Don't let us be ships passing in the night [Verse 2] Now I don't chase, I never beg I've turned down sailors, more than few But darling, I'll admit, I'm stuck On every word that comes from you [Chorus] Your lantern glows across the bay Mine's flickering, burning just as bright So drop your anchor, love, and stay Don't let us be ships passing in the night [Bridge] The stars have seen a thousand ships Go drifting off and never stay But I can taste it on your lips You're hoping you could find your way [Final Chorus] Your lantern glows across the bay Mine's flickering, burning just as bright So drop your anchor, love, and stay Don't let us be ships passing in the night [Outro] Don't let us be ships passing in the night
