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 have been the medicine

And now you're lying in the bed again

Either way, I'll cry with the rest of them

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 sing

Darling, hold me in your arms

The way you did last night

And we'll lie inside

For a little while here, oh

I could look into your eyes

Until the sun comes up

And we're wrapped in light and life and 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 set alight

We're afire love

Love, love

And things were all good yesterday

Then the devil took your breath away

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 sing

Darling, hold me in your arms

The way you did last night

And we'll lie inside

For a little while here, oh

I could look into your eyes

Until the sun comes up

And we're wrapped in light and life and 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 love

Love, love

See the love, the love, the love, the love

See the love, the love, the love, the love

See the love, the love, the love, the love

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 say hallelujah

And my brother and all of my family

Rise from their seats to sing hallelujah

And all my brothers and my sisters, yeah, ah

And my father and all of my family

Rise from their seats to say hallelujah

To the love, the love, the love, the love

To the love, the love, the love, the love

To the love, the love, the love, the love
