Afire Love

Things were all good yesterday

And then the devil took your memory

And if you fell to your death today

I hope that heaven is your resting place

I heard the doctors put your chest in pain

But then that could've been the medicine

And now you're lying in the bed again

Either way I'll cry with the rest of them



And my father told me, son

It's not his fault he doesn't know your face

And you're not the only one

Although my grandma used to say

That he used to say



Darling, hold me in your arms the way you did last night

And we'll lie in sight for a little while, he wrote

I could look into your eyes until the sun comes up

And we're wrapped in light, in life, in love

Put your open lips on mine and slowly let them shut

For they're designed to be together, oh

With your body next to mine our hearts will beat as one

And we're set alight, we're afire in love



Things were all good yesterday

But then the devil took your breath away

And now we're left here in the pain

Black suit, black tie, standing in the rain

And now my family is one again

Stapled together with the strangers and a friend

Came to my mind, I should paint it with a pen

Six years old, I remember when



My father told me, son

It's not his fault he doesn't know your face

And you're not the only one

Although my grandma used to say

He used to say



Darling, hold me in your arms the way you did last night

And we'll lie in sight for a little while, he wrote

I could look into your eyes until the sun comes up

And we're wrapped in light, in life, in love

Put your open lips on mine and slowly let them shut

For they're designed to be together, oh

With your body next to mine our hearts will beat as one

And we're set alight, we're afire in love



To the love we love to love we love [x3]



And my father and all of my family rise from their seats

to sing hallelujah

And my mother and all of my family rise from their seats

to sing hallelujah

And my brother and all of my family rise from their seats

to sing hallelujah

(And all of my brothers and my sisters, yeah)

And my father and all of my family rise from their seats

to sing hallelujah



To the love we love to love we love [x3]
