flat back four - the return of the native lyrics
i walked the lonely heath amidst the mournful charms of mother nature
serene and powerful, yet menace seemed to line her timeless face
alone the silence soothed my soul and spoke the path i must needs take
relentlessly i tell myself, i am not alone
i searched for what i’ve lost
in pursuit of my great desire
as night drew in, the mist came down, i realised i’d lost my careful way
thy kingdom come, thy will be done, o lord preserve me for my fate
she lives, she breathes, at one with me
a function of her nature
behind her smile so powerful
she knows i’ll never leave her
on egdon heath i found myself, but lost
the innocence of youth
the dawn kissed the horizon and reawakened hope of salvation
the sun climbed high inside me, i realised i was not alone
i closed the door in silence and thanked the lord for my deliverance
one day, i swear, this native is going to return
she lives, she breathes, she makes me be
a function of her nature
behind her smile so beautiful
she knows i’ll never leave her
on egdon heath i lost again, but swear
this native will return
