Nature Boy

I was just a boy when I sat down to watch the news on the TV

I saw some ordinary slaughter, I saw some routine atrocity

My father said, don't look away, you gotta be strong

You got to be bold, now

He said that in the end it is beauty that is gonna save the world, now

And she moves among the sparrows

And she floats upon the breeze

And she moves among the flowers

And she moves something deep inside of me

I was walking 'round the flower show like a leper

Coming down with some kind of nervous hysteria

I saw you standing there, green eyes, black hair

Up against the pink and purple exterior

You said, hey, nature boy, you're looking at me

With some unrighteous intention

My knees went weak, I couldn't speak

I was having thoughts that were not in my best interest to mention

And she moves among the flowers

And she floats upon the smoke

And she moves among the shadows

And she moves me with just one little look

You took me back to your place and dressed me up

In a deep-sea diver's suit

You played the patriot, you raised the flag

And I stood at full salute

Well, later on we smoked a pipe that struck me dumb

And made it impossible to speak

As she closed in in slow motion, quoting Sappho

In the original Greek

And she moves among the shadows

And she floats upon the breeze

And she moves among the candles

And we move through the days and through the years

Years pass by, we're walking by the sea after Myriad's

You smiled at me and said

Babe, I think this thing is getting kind of serious

You pointed at something and said

Have you ever seen such a beautiful thing?

It was then that I broke down, it was then you lifted me up again

And she moves among the sparrows

And she walks across the sea

And she moves among the pharaohs

And she moves something deep inside of me

And she moves among the sparrows

And she floats upon the breeze

And she moves among the flowers

And she moves (Something deep inside of me) right up close to me

Come on, now
