One Ship Passing
What is the sound of one hand clapping?
What is the sight of one ship passing in the night?
The other day I got a message on the Internet
She signed it 'Mrs. Captain Ambivalent'!
Well, how could I forget that night in Vegas
Or the preacher who was dressed as Elvis
Oddly though, I don't recall a thing
Or was it just a dream?
All this music and laughter's inside your head
All this beauty and grandeur's inside your head
Everything you perceive is inside your head
And your vision of me is inside your head
What do you see when you see me?
What do I see when I think I'm seeing you?
Are our feelings formed from fiction?
Is it commitment, or just miscommunication?
Standing side by side to face whatever?
Oddly though you don't recall a thing -
Oh was it just a dream?
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, was it just a dream?
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah -
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, was it just a dream?
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah -
All this music and laughter's inside my head
All this beauty and grandeur's inside my head
My perception of truth is inside my head
And my vision of you is inside my head
Am I only dreaming you?
Are you only dreaming me?
Are we both the dream of someone else...
All this music and laughter's inside his head
All this beauty and grandeur's inside his head
Everything we perceive is inside his head
There's a vision of each of us inside his head
Will we ever know the real thing?
Will we ever know the real thing?
What is the sound of one hand clapping?
What is the sight of one ship passing in the night?
