Work Text:
The world was young when I first saw you
I close my eyes and the flashback starts
You're standing there
On the Garden wall, sword in the air
Live our lives, the world turning on around
All through history, track you down
To say hello
Little did I know
That soon I'd find myself holding a baby devil
And I couldn't let what we had be over yet
And I was getting drunk at your place
Begging you to stand up
And I said
"Angel, let's do this, we can stop the end of times
We will raise him, keep him right between the lines
Each take a place, I've got just the right dress
It's a love story, Angel, just say yes"
A nanny's guise and a gardener in tune
Keep it quiet 'cause we're dead if they knew
But we screwed up
We have the wrong kid from a mix-up
The final fight was close and there was no choice better
'Cause the stars were the only safety we could get
'Cause you are everything to me
I was begging you to just go
And I said
"Angel, come with me somewhere we can be alone
I've been waiting, all that's left to do is run
We're on our own, so let's change our address
It's a love story, Angel just say yes
"Zira, run with me, they're lying saying I can't feel
This love is difficult, but it's real
I'm so afraid, let's get away from this mess
It's a love story, Angel just say yes"
But then your shop was burning
And without you there was no more draw to the skies
I couldn't stop the hurting
When I saw you I could not trust my eyes
And I said
"Angel, please be real, I've been feeling so alone
I'm still waiting even though you said we're done
I lost my best friend, has he come back to me?"
He gave me a smile and let his eyes speak to say
"Follow me, Crowley dear, you'll never have to be alone
I love you, so here's everything I know
We don't have to run or join the damned or blessed
It's a love story, Crowley just say yes"
'Cause the world was young when I first saw you
