Strange Beauty

David died yesterday
 Today it's raining
 I know I didn't know you
 But in my heart I know it to be true
 It is raining for you, David
 The rain it is for you
 Oh, how can I explain the colossal loss I feel?
 It's left me gasping at the wheel
 Oh it comes in waves, or a single tear
 Like the sea washes towards the lonely pier
 And when you are gone, the world it moves on
 But it's lost its strange beauty
 And when you are gone, the rest of us have to carry on
 But the world it's lost its strange beauty
 Strange beauty
 Strange beauty
 Strange beauty
 Oh, and I have been mourning all morning
 Since you left without a warning
 Searching for clues that you're still around
 In this fruitless longing I have found
 When you are gone, the world it moves on
 But it's lost its strange beauty
 When you are gone, the rest of us have to carry on
 But the world has lost its strange beauty
 Strange beauty
 Strange beauty
 Strange beauty
 Strange beauty
 Strange beauty
 Strange beauty
 Strange beauty
 Oh, oh, oh, oh
