For You by Laura Marling Lyrics

[Verse 1]
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

[Verse 2]
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

[Chorus]
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
[Post-Chorus]
Mmm...
Mmm...

[Verse 3]
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

[Chorus]
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

[Post-Chorus]
Mmm...
Mmm...

[Instrumental]
[Chorus]
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

[Post-Chorus]
Mmm...
Mmm...
