- NICK CAVE - Nature Boy Lyrics
- Uploaded by LOVE4LYRICS at Pastebin.com
- I was just a boy when I sat down
- To watch the news on TV
- I saw some ordinary slaughter
- I saw some routine atrocity
- My father said, don't look away
- You got to be strong, you got to be bold, now
- He said, that in the end it is beauty
- That is going to save the world, now
- And she moves among the sparrows
- And she floats upon the breeze
- She moves among the flowers
- She moves something deep inside of me
- I was walking around the flower show like a leper
- Coming down with some kind of nervous hysteria
- When I saw you standing there, green eyes, black hair
- Up against the pink and purple wisteria
- You said, hey, nature boy, are you 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 interests to mention
- And she moves among the flowers
- And she floats upon the smoke
- She moves among the shadows
- 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
- Later on we smoked a pipe that struck me dumb
- And made it impossible to speak
- As you closed in, in slow motion,
- Quoting Sappho, in the original Greek
- She moves among the shadows
- She floats upon the breeze
- She moves among the candles
- And we moved through the days
- and through the years
- Years passed by, we were walking by the sea
- Half delirious
- 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 that you lifted me up again
- She moves among the sparrows
- And she walks across the sea
- She moves among the flowers
- And she moves something deep inside of me
- She moves among the sparrows
- And she floats upon the breeze
- She moves among the flowers
- And she moves right up close to me
