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
