Our Love is a Church

Our love was a church and you were the stained glass 
Shimmering brightly, you're the beauty that lasts 
You opened the door and let me in
Almost like a whore drenched in sin 
Our love was a church filled with confession 
Our pain and hurt becoming obsession 
you were the dark to my heavenly light 
From the moment we met in the park at night 
I loved you with all my heart 
But you knew our future would never start 
You poisoned me with your smoke and fumes 
Cigarettes and Tea and the autumn blooms. 
Scars covered your velvet skin 
The pain you suffered and all its kin. 
Unnoticeable by the foolish girl with the pretty face 
You played with her curl and pulled her from grace 
Its funny how in the blink of an eye you were gone. 
You died when the church bells rang at dawn. 
Before the world woke you were dead
Did you choke when you put the bullet in your head? 
Did you hear the church bells from where you lied 
We're you smiling as you died? 
Did you think of me as the light faded from your eyes? 
Could you hear or see my sorrowful cries? 
Did you think of me from way back when? 
Did you think of what we could have been? 
Darling you've gone away 
After you promised you would stay 
And as I'm starting to shake 
You left sorrow in your wake 
You're always in my mind 
Where birds go blind 
You lay among the autumn blooms 
Immune to those toxic fumes 
In the back of my mind 
where no one else will ever find 
My love for you will never die 
But I refuse to cry... 
The church pews are empty and collecting dust 
The organ starts to rust 
But your stained glass windows are beautiful as ever 
As your final tie I begin to sever 
Our love was a church with beautiful bells 
Now all that's left are empty shells 
Light the match and light it ablaze 
Keep the memories of the gold old days 
You were the stained glass, I was the light 
Now you have angel wings ready to take flight.
