lyrics

Have you walked the fields? I only ask
‘Cos I was out there last night and thought I saw you walk past
I’ll hear your name sometimes – more than I would let on
I still walk the fields and I will after I’m gone

The devil came to me at quarter to midnight
Said to pack my things and then to book my flight
“All the love in the world is going up in flames”
So what do you say?

I saw the words on the ticker, did you see them too?
I had no soul to lose, but I always had you
Sometimes it’s just a handshake that brings you some more
You’d be surprised what it can take to rattle a core

The devil came to me and said that I shouldn’t fear
And that Jesus would say so, but Jesus ain’t here
“All the love in the world is going up in flames”
We weren’t using it anyway

I walked into the fire, you were not there
I thought I’d bring you back from I don’t know where
“All the love in the world is going up in flames”
I got the message, OK?

All the love in the world is going up in flames.
