Like Passing Ships

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, la la la
 You're better off beneath that man
 Than in my arms love
 Sha la la, la la la
 You're better off beneath that man
 Than in my arms love
 Sha la la, la 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, la la la
 You're better off beneath that man
 Than in my arms love
 Sha la la, la la la
 You're better off beneath that man
 Than in my arms love
 Sha la la, la 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
 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
 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
 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
 If I stay or if I go
 If I stay or if I go
 If I stay or if I go
