  • 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

    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

    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

    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

    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

    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 Writer/s: George Jephson, Laura Marling
