Nathaniel

There in a parking space

On the side of a trailer on its own

In letters of five foot high

So simple against this Oregon sky

It says 'Nathaniel, we'll always love you'

'Nathaniel, we'll always love you'

I turn on the TV news

Another disaster for the lonely multitude

The lingering rolling feed

Candles and toys and a sea of flowers

All from strangers

I think of 'Nathaniel, we'll always love you'

'Nathaniel, we'll always love you'

At first you deny it

And then you get angry that they've gone

You try making a bargain

And then you accept it and you go on

I think of ‘Nathaniel, we'll always love you'

‘Nathaniel, we'll always love you'

You won't be the first

You won't be the first to lose control

Oh, but it's hard

It's so hard to fill the hole

Oh, Nathaniel, we'll always love you

Nathaniel, we'll always love you
