katie melua - i cried for you lyrics

you're beautiful so silently
it lies beneath a shade of blue
it struck me so violently
when i looked at you

but others pass, the never pause,
to feel that magic in your hand
to me you're like a wild rose
they never understand why

i cried for you
when the sky cried for you
and when you went
i became a hopeless drifter
but this life was not for you
though i learned from you,
that beauty need only be a whisper

i'll cross the sea for a different world,
with your treasure, a secret for me to hold

in many years they may forget
this love of ours or that we met,
they may not know
how much you meant to me.

i cried for you
and the sky cried for you,
and when you went
i became a hopeless drifter.
but this life was not for you,
though i learned from you,
that beauty need only be a whisper

without you now i see,
how fragile the world can be
and i know you've gone away
but in my heart you'll always stay.

i cried for you
and the sky cried for you,
and when you went
i became a hopeless drifter.
but this life was not for you,
though i learned from you,
that beauty need only be a whisper
that beauty need only be a whisper
