Lyrics

Nature Boy

[Spoken Intro: Ewan McGregor]

This story is about love

The woman I loved is... dead

[Verse 1: David Bowie]

There was a boy

A very strange, enchanted boy

They say he wandered very far

Very far, over land and sea

A little shy and sad of eye

But very wise was he

[Verse 2: David Bowie]

And then one day

One magic day he passed my way

And while we spoke of many things

Fools and kings

This he said to me:

"The greatest thing you'll ever learn

Is just to love and be loved in return"
