Hey! How are you?
It's been such a long time
How've you been
You're looking just fine
Like the day we met
Was that '78?
Funny how quickly we forget
Ships that pass
In the night
Changing signals
See the light and they're gone...
They're gone

You're standing there
We both struggle for things to say
Like we're strangers
I guess we are anyway

Ships that pass
In the night
Changing signals
See the light and they're
Ships that pass
In the night
Changing signals
See the light and they're gone...
They're gone

Funny how little we knew about each other
When all the time we both thought we were lovers
But those were good times we had

I can remember
How we'd walk down by the bay
And talk about tomorrow
Now tomorrow is yesterday

Ships that pass
In the night
Changing signals
See the light and
Ships that pass
In the night
Changing signals
See the light and
Ships that pass
In the night
Changing signals
See the light and they're gone...
They're gone
Know your lover
Get to know her
Know your lover
Get to know her

Red Rider was a Canadian rock band that formed in 1975. A few years later, future rock legend Tom Cochrane joined the band, and in 1979 released its breakthrough album Don’t Fight It. As Far as Siam, released in 1981, contained Lunatic Fringe, which remains Red Rider’s largest success. The band broke up silently in 1990, but reformed in 2002 and plays live to this day.
