Ed Sheeran - Afire Love lyrics

rate me

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.

Pre-chorus:

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 grandpa used to say, that he used to say

He used to say

Chorus:

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

And the lie inside 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 love, love, love oh.

Things were all good yesterday,

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 but the stranger’s never friend.

Came to my mind I should paint it with a pen

Six years old I remember when

Pre-chorus:

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 grandpa used to say, that he used to say

He used to say

Chorus:

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

And the lie inside 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 love, love, love oh.

And my father and all of my family

Rise from the seats to sing “hallelujah”

And my mother and all of my family

Rise from the seats to sing “hallelujah”

And all of my brothers and my sisters, yeah

And my father and all of my family

Rise from the seats to sing “hallelujah”

Ah, ah, ah, ah!

Ah, ah, ah, ah!
