"So Natural" lyrics

"So Natural"

Standing outside of St. Mark's church this night
Waiting as they carried Arthur by
I stood there in a daze
I heard all the things that they said
And the words that they spoke
Gave me an awful fright:

"He looks so natural tonight
He had his hair all combed just right"

A more natural pose, I couldn't bear to see
And I hope that these people never visit me
It's my time to go, I just want the wind to blow
My ashes until they're completely out of sight
And they won't say that

"He looks so natural tonight;
He had his hair all combed just right."

It's my time to go, I just want the wind to blow
My ashes until they're completely out of sight
My ashes until they're completely out of sight
My ashes until they're completely out of sight
