KATIE MELUA LYRICS

"I Cried For You"

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

I imagine I'll have a website up at some point.  I sent it to Ray and he can't listen to it due to computer problems.  I'm taking that as a sign and keeping it to myself until a more professional version is available.  Thanks though.  ;)

nic:
This one reminds me of the last trip together: "Don't Speak" by No Doubt.  It's not particularly eloquent but the message is clear & poignant.  Below is an excerpt (the chorus) which brngs to mind the images of them hurting each other with what they're saying, and also what they're not saying of course. 

"Don't speak
I know just what you're saying
So please stop explaining
Don't tell me cause it hurts
Don't speak
I know what you're thinking
I don't need your reasons
Don't tell me cause it hurts"

Toast:
TOO FAR GONE by Neil Young

When I woke up you were gone
And the sun was on the lawn
Empty pillow with perfume on
I smelled it.

Well, we met in my favorite bar
Took a ride in my old car
But I still don't know how
We made it home.

Was I too far gone
Too far gone
Too far gone
For you.

We had drugs and we had booze
But we still had something to lose
And by dawn I wanted
To marry you.

With our attitudes by day
And our secret dreams by night
Can we really live our lives
That way.

Am I too far gone
Too far gone
Too far gone
For you.

Was I too far gone
Too far gone
Too far gone
For you.

Neil recorded many versions of this song, from 1972 to 1989 (and probably still performs it)
My favourite versions
are on Chrome Dreams / On the Beach - a quieter acoustic version suitable for the movie soundtrack.

and on:  Freedom (1989) a heavier rock studio version that would be so great if the movie had had a larger budget, with helicopter shots of our boys riding horses over the rolling hills and through sunsets, wind in their hair in some open vehicle;  huge smiles with trees, rocks and clouds whizzing by, ...  ooops back to reality.

This Year's Love - David Gray

This years love had better last
heaven knows it's high time
I've been waiting on my own too long
And when you hold me like you do
It feels so right
I start to forget how my heart gets torn
When that hurt gets thrown
Feeling like I can't go on

Turning circles when time again
it cuts like a knife oh yea
IF you love me got to know for sure
Cos it takes something more this time
than sweet sweet lies
before i open up my arms and fall
losing all control of every dream inside my soul
and when you kiss me on that midnight street
sweep me off my feet
singin ain't this life so sweet

this years love had better last
this years love had better last

so whose to worry if our hearts get torn
when that hurt gets thrown
don't you know this life goes on
and won't you kiss me on that midnight street
sweep me off my feet
singin ain't this life so sweet

this years love had better last
this years love had better last
this years love had better last
this years love had better last
