Come On Nature

(album: Sunshine On Leith - 1988)

Come on nature, I don't want to read a book or talk about the world
Come on nature, I just want to spend some time being boy to the girl
Come on nature, let me show the way that I've been feeling all along
Come on nature, just because I don't feel weak don't mean I feel so strong

I've been known
To ask a few more favours than I should of you
And in time
I'm sure I'll still want things that you could never do
If she wasn't mine, if I was stepping out of line,
But she's mine and I'm in line and she's the best I've ever seen

Come on nature, let me show the way that I've been feeling all along
Dark brown hair, green eyes and white skin
You perfect, every colour that she's in

Come on nature, I don't want to read a book or talk about the world
Come on nature, I just want to spend some time being boy to the girl
Her and me
I could be complete if you could let it be
My desire
Is to stretch myself inside her body's fire
If I stumbled in
And I could say that I had been
To the chamber where your greatest work of art was on display

Come on nature, let me show the way that I've been feeling all along
Dark brown hair, green eyes and white skin
You perfect, every colour that she's in

Come on nature, I don't want to read a book or talk about the world
Oh, oh, nature, I just want to spend some time being boy to the girl
