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

you're not the only one

although my grandma used to say

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 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

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

you're not the only one

although my grandma used to say

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 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

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

my father and all of my family

rise from their seats to sing

hallelujah

to the love

the love

the love

the love
