It Keeps Us Dancing - The Family Crest

There’s a wreckage here, it lines the coast

There’s a heartbeat like a ghost

Moving slowly through its frame

There’s a silence, a sad refrain

Where you’re going is where I’ve been

Where your heart leads it’s not the end

Like a fire you’ll grow and grow

And it keeps us moving, oh, it keeps us dancing

Oh, my past, love is harsh and thick

But still you’ve come back around here to pull me up from the sticks

And through these memories of love in vein

We keep on moving and moving

But, oh, the past, love, it carries weight

And though I swear, love, it’s far too late

Like a fire we’ll grow and grow

And it keeps us moving, oh, it keeps us dancing

But in this wreckage tonight

Through the dark there’s a light that grows

And, oh, the horns of the dawn

Beg this heart to move on and grow

But oh, you battered, oh, you broke

Turn your wheels here and guide your spokes

Because this fire will grow and grow

And it keeps us moving, oh, it keeps us dancing

Oh, say the sun to the soil

Here’s to my ever-loving girl

Here’s to the heart on my sleeve

A piece of you is a piece of me

Oh, there’s a wreckage tonight

But, I’m feeling all right

Oh, to the world and her spoils

I couldn’t love you more!
