First Aid Kit - Strange Beauty Lyrics

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
