For You - Laura Marling

I drew pictures of you

Long before I met you

Just a fragment of my mind

I had called out for you

Almost every night

Precious things are hard to find

It was just an evening

Much like any else

When you came into my life

It takes one to know one

And I saw you there

As I had seen you all my life

I thank a God I’ve never met

Never loved, never wanted (For you)

I write it so I don’t forget

Never let it get away

I wear a picture of you

Just to keep you safe

Mmm…

Mmm…

Now that I have you

I will not forget

What a miracle you are

No childish expectation

Love is not the answer

But the line that marks the start

I thank a God I’ve never met

Never loved, never wanted (For you)

I write it so I don’t forget

Never let it get away

I keep a picture of you

Just to keep you safe

Mmm…

Mmm…

I thank a God I’ve never met

Never loved, never wanted (For you)

I write it so I won’t forget

Never let it get away

I keep a picture of you

Just to keep you safe

I thank a God I’ve never met

Never loved, never wanted

I sing it so I won’t forget

Never let it get away

I keep a picture of you

Just to keep you safe

Mmm…

Mmm…
