Sheeran, Ed - Afire Love Lyrics






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 [3x]

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
(To my brother and my sister, yeah, ah)
My father and all of my family
Rise from their seats to sing
Hallelujah

To the love, the love, the love, the love [3x]

  33. L.... B....

    I look back everytime something happens in my life, when I feel sad or happy, and everything has a music for me to listen to, I really would like to say thanks personally because I need this songs specially now, this music perfectly describes my last month that has been a truly hell, I lost one of the most important people in my life, my grandma that created me, I spend my life more beside her than with my own mother and everytime I enter in her bedroom, I feel just empty because unsconsciently I look for her everywhere she used to be in my house, sleeping, at living room, kitchen and knowing I will never see her again hurts a lot, I'm not a person of crying and sometimes I think people imagine that I don't care about it, but inside I am destroyed. If you read this I thank you, I don't have so much people in my life like friends or family, and I don't speak even with the ones I have, I just wanted to put this away from me anyway, writing was an option so here it is, probably I will delete this after some months or years.

    L.... B....

    i know im really bad at comforting someone but im sorry for your loss.i understand what ur going through.
    keep strong!!<3

    L.... B....

    @Sarah Varughese Thank you! It really means a lot.

  69. d.... ....

    I love Ed but nothing will ever beat his X album

  70. L.... t....

    I just found out that the chords for this were sampled from "Remembering Jenny" from Buffy the Vampire Slayer. Hmm.

    L.... t....

    it's been credited somewhere, and not an actual sample plus Ed was a huge fan of the show years ago

    L.... t....

    Veronica M no, I mean it as a good thing. Remembering Jenny was one of my favourite songs from the show, and the fact that Ed used it makes me respect him even more.

  71. C.... 1....

    Ed i feel your pain my nan has it

  72. k.... p....

  85. P.... ....

    This is my all time favorite song I believe, top 5 at least.

  86. E.... E....

    When I listen to this song I cry everytime because it reminds me of my pop

  87. M.... F....

    His songs decide about my mood... His songs are so deep... His songs are with me already 7 years. I feel so weird. I cant even explain that. He's one of the best artists i ever seen/heard. BTW this song is so underrated in my opinion.

  88. i.... _....

    El mejor Ed Sheeran

  89. t.... ....

    No one:
    Everyone in the comment section: shares a sob story about a relative

    t.... ....

    Dont be a dick it helps people cope

  90. s.... g....

    How can he go from master pieces like this to the bolacks he’s done the last 2 years :/

    s.... g....

    Divide (2017) has deep cuts songs as well ie Save myself, Supermarket flowers about the death of his grandmother, Happier about his first real love, Dive, plus Nancy mulligan which is about his grandfather from Afire Love. No.6 Collaborations Project LP (2019) is fun side project. Ed's next solo studio album 'Subtract' will be lo-fi acoustic

    s.... g....

    Veronica M yeah they were all good ones to be fair maybe not quite 2 years but this last year just commercial crap

  91. s.... �....

    I haven't heard this song for a while 😔 still tugs my heart.

  92. B.... ....

    This was the Song at my grandmas funeral 😭😭

  93. C.... B....

    Putz lembrei de alguém agora :'( 💔

  94. T.... S....

    Y pensar que cuando la lanzó para el público mi abuelito todavía respiraba ...como lo extraño, necesito escuchar su voz, sentir su abrazo, sentir el beso en mi cabeza, pero no pasará. Por favor, aunque sea llévame, para estar contigo.

  95. c.... m....

    This is my best Ed's song

  96. A.... B....

    Moin servus moin
