SHIPS IN THE NIGHT
Two ships… passing in the night…
The moment I saw her, beaten and bloody on the ground
My heart broke wide open, didn’t hear the warning sound
I wasn’t looking for love, I was drowning in grief
Trying to save my son and my queen before they lost their life
People laughed, called me a fool for reaching out my hand
Said I should’ve turned away, walked back inside like a real man
But something in me knew it was the right thing to do
Even if it cost me everything… I still pulled her through
She slept in my bed, I took the floor
Told her “close the door” when she went to the bathroom floor
I gave her respect when the world took hers away
Never wanted her body, just tried to keep the pain at bay
My Ebony Queen was gone, Jamila took my soul
Alisha heard me crying, lying there on the cold floor
She knew how much I loved them, how hard I tried to save
Then she seduced this broken man… and I became her slave
One night… I fell from grace
Ten years faithful… gone without a trace
She felt like comfort, she felt like home
But it was just two ships passing… never meant to stay
Two ships in the night…
Alisha had that same fighting spirit in her eyes
Same fire as Jamila, that’s why I broke inside
Her body next to mine brought the world back for a minute
I didn’t know it was a game… I thought she really meant it
Do I hate her? No.
Do I hate what she did? Yes.
She sent the wolves my way, stole everything I had left
But through all her darkness… she still brought me to you
I will never stop loving my Ebony Queen…
She was my heart, my soul, my everything…
Alisha was a moment… a storm that passed through
But then you came… and my heart took flight again
Now I see you… and my heart takes flight
After all the pain, after all the lies
You’re the greatest gift that pain ever gave
Through the blood, through the grief, through the crashing waves
Thank you Alisha… for bringing me to her
Even if you tried to destroy me… you still delivered her
Two ships in the night…
One brought the storm…
One brought the light…
Thank God I met you…
My heart took flight.
