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, they 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 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 That beauty need only be a whisper
is the name of a river in northern Italy. In Acient Rome, nobody was allowed to cross the River Rubicon with army to approach Rome. They wanted to prevent a military coup. Law itself, however, didn't always rule everybody. Julius Caesar who had created western history also broke the rule. He said when he crossed the Rubicon, "Alea iacta est. (Latin: "The die has been cast") He had won the civil war and left another famous quotation, "Veni, vidi, vici." (Latin: "I came, I saw, I conquered.")
I cried for you. - Katie Melua
ReplyDeleteYou're beautiful so silently
It lies beneath a shade of blue
It struck me so violently
When I looked at you
But others pass, they 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
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
That beauty need only be a whisper
