The Lilac Time - And the Ship Sails On lyrics

One from the heart could be The East Village eye should be Fluorescent lights above the kiss goodnight And love will always stay Beyond words The first breath of Spring must be The last days of school might be The first taste of forbidden fruits And dancing with a girl who can afford good suits Your lips on my neck Sunbathing on the deck Of the love boat In clover we float A happiness that makes you choke Beyond words The words of love and of disgust Are lost in the wind like so much dust The talks break down Two lovers kiss What words in the world Are we gonna miss? And the ship sails on And when our lives have gone What epitaph will mean a thing? What're you gonna say when the phone don't ring? Was your life quite good? And were your book shelves made out of wood? To hold the books they write when their heroes die And the loss they always find Beyond words And the ship sails on... (Beyond words...) And the ship sails on...
