Now that your leave is over
Let's down our drinks and say goodnight
To this illusion
Bell-bottom Casanova
The silhouettes that pass us by
Are ships in the night
Ships in the night, in the night, in the night
When you alight, mein Lieber
Whether its Hamburg or New york
I'll still be sleeping
Look in your wallet all you'll find
A little note I've left behind
Oh, I hope you don't mind
We're Ships in the night
Ships in the night
Ships in the night
