Like Passing Ships
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

Lyrics by The Family Crest

  All Is Dark   As We Move Forward   Backwards And Forwards   Before Your Father Hears Us   Beneath the Brine   Got Soul   Howl   I Am the Winter   In The Avenue   Love Don't Go   Make Me a Boat   North   Romeo   Sell Yourself Lightly   She Knows My Name   The Bells   The Water's Fine   The World   There's a Thunder   Upon Cobblestone Streets   When the Light Go Out   When the Lights Go Out
