I met a girl at a Sunday fair
My suit and tie were the best in town
She hid her body into simple clothes
Didn’t reveal what was on her mind
Bad thoughts
When our eyes met across the crowd
She smiled in a way, it wasn’t a lie
A way that preachers wouldn’t like
That moment I knew she forgot her God
I move through the bodies
Where are you from?
"I am from heaven"
And then the night goes on
I didn’t know angels were like this
Smart enough to tame the sheeps
But if you dig into the deep
You’ll find resurrection when she’s on her knees
A kiss with a fire
A love without rings
She won’t get tired
And then the night goes on
And then the night goes on
I met a girl at a Sunday fair
Where if you pay attention you can breathe in the air
The smell of hopes overwhelmed by the fear
Of living in a way you’re not meant to be
A kiss with a fire
A love without rings
She won’t get tired
Until the morning comes
