Like Passing Ships Lyrics - The Family Crest

This is how we're supposed to be 

Out beneath these falling leaves 

I held you to my chest 

You're better off like that 

Love I'm used to playing the fool 

The vagabond, the moving ghoul 

Who's slow to slip and fade 

When all the leaves, they are swept away 

Sha la la, sha la la 

You're better off beneath that man 

Than in my arms love 

This is where we speak so slow 

Out into the towns we go 

The dawn it rides our backs 

Oh my love, though my heart is moved 

The wind may pull my lips from you 

And we might stand to be 

Like passing ships on the open sea 

Sha la la, sha la la 

You're better off beneath that man 

Than in my arms love 

Love don't let your heart dismay 

Save it for a rainy day 

And you'll be the first to know 

If I stay or if I go
