Paloma Faith - 30 Minute Love Affair lyrics

30 minute love affair
All in the blink of an eye
There you were standing there
I heard an angel cry runaway lover
I soon discovered
It was best when we left it
I'll never forget it
Our 30 minute love affair

The city lead me out one night
Through lonely streets and neon
Light searching again
I met a stranger singing songs
Sat in that doorway I belonged with him
Just talking

He was so beautiful there in my dreams
I left my heart and my memories

30 minute love affair
All in the blink of an eye
There you were standing there
I heard an angel cry runaway lover
I soon discovered
It was best when we left it
I'll never forget it
Our 30 minute love affair

He told me he'd be there tomorrow
I knew where he led I would follow
I flew and he knew
When I went back he had disappeared
My hopeful smile had turned to tears
Let down, no sight nor sound

Sometimes it's better just to let them go
Cause your illusion's more than
What you could know

30 minute love affair
All in the blink of an eye
There you were standing there
I heard an angel cry runaway lover
I soon discovered
It was best when we left it
I'll never forget it
Our 30 minute love affair

Falling from the sky for him
I'll never regret it he took my breath away
And although it was the shortest time
I'll never forget it
He gave me such a beautiful lie oh, my

30 minute love affair
All in the blink of an eye
There you were standing there
I heard an angel cry runaway lover
I soon discovered
It was best when we left it
Now I'll never forget it
It was best when we left it
Now I'll never forget it
Our 30 minute love affair
30 minute love affair
Our 30 minute love affair
