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...
