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 restin' place

I heard the doctors put your chest in pain

But then that could've been the medicine

And now you're lyin' 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 sing

Darlin', 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, in 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[Post-Chorus]

Love, love

And 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, standin' 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

That he used to sing

Darlin', 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, in 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[Post-Chorus]

(Ah-ooh) Love, love

(Ah-ooh) See the love, the love, the love, the love

(Ah-ooh) See the love, the love, the love, the love

(Ah-ooh) 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 brother 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 my brothers and my sisters, yeah)

And my father and all of my family (Ah)

Rise from their seats to sing "Hallelujah"

(Ah-ooh)

(Ah-ooh) See the love, the love, the love, the love

(Ah-ooh) See the love, the love, the love, the love

(Ah-ooh) See the love, the love, the love, the love

(Ah-ooh, ah-ooh)
