Lyrics:
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, for you
I sing it so I won’t forget never let it get away
I keep a picture of you just to keep you safe

Beautiful song 👍

I thank a God I never met, never loved, never wanted resonates so strongly for me. I thank Spotify for recommending this to me

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 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

[@amaro3005]

I couldn't describe how love feels in a purer way than drawing pictures of people long before meeting them; or wearing a picture of them just to keep them safe.

[@gsus999]

i thank a god i've never met, never loved, never wanted :((

[@xxXXxPagexXXxx]

This IS a song for my daughter ❤️

[@spiritranger9202]

Pheobe bridgers recommended this song in an interview ❤. I love it 😍

[@JeromeIsChrome]

Nice to still have sweet folk music like this these days

[@gsus999]

i want to cri. took me so long to find this gem

[@gothikayessex625]

This is how I imagine I will feel when I become a mom. Fertility issues make the journey hard but it will make me grateful.

[@reinlesswriting]

It's exactly how you will feel. Best of luck, truly truly ❤

[@MARIUS2776]

My sister waited 8 years gave up went on holiday and ended up with Anna 9ish months later. Beat of luck

[@Luncea28]

Sublime. It made me cry for the first time in a long time - an emotional release I really needed. Thank you, Laura, for your continued output of beautiful music.

[@dannykuhrt9144]

I think this song has the best chorus of the album, just so beautiful

[@sidekickcleveland7365]

😔 chorus.. the top comment on this Marley song talks about the “chorus” a word not in a songwriters vocabulary.

[@dannykuhrt9144]

@@sidekickcleveland7365 nonsense

[@sidekickcleveland7365]

@@dannykuhrt9144 go turn on your radio then go buy a real album and listen to how many songs have a verse chorus verse chorus verse chorus.

[@dannykuhrt9144]

@@sidekickcleveland7365 ok now listen to this song and tell me if there is a chorus. Perhaps the repeated bit? The bit which starts "I thank a God I've never..."?

[@greentaigo2552]

@@sidekickcleveland7365 there is a chorus lmao. But sure lets pretend you're the music expert here while you can't even spell the artist's name

I loved Laura's first solo album years on I saved up so that on my 21st Birthday I could buy a ticket and see Laura at Glastonbury, I am now 30 at such a different point in my life listening to her growth in sound and song writing feeling that same feeling when I first heard her music with this song, what a beautiful achievement Laura never stop creating and growing 💕🙂🤩

[@Koshirozation]

[@LunaLuneraLuneta]

I often think about how grateful I am to have met my love and how I want to keep him and our love safe. Lying next to him is as peaceful and heartwarming as this song.

[@GentlemanGaming1122]

Wish I could have that experience I'll love a girlfriend who loves treasures understands long to hold me as the nice loving caring polite true gentleman of a man I am. I'm only 21 years old! I'm young got my life ahead of me I know what I want and how to get it and I live my life everyday freely. This coronvirus has stopped people from meeting each other also dates and meeting that special someone.

[@aarongonzalezortiz5607]

Sorry for your loss, stay strong! Bet she's somewhere listening to this.
