Natalie Songtext
von The Soul Jacket

There was a man plying the river
On a ferry unnamed
A joyful life carrying all people
From bank to bank

But when by night he lights up a candle
He prays it from an empty bed
"Trembling light, help me find
Somebody else"


A blushing sun broke through the maple
The fog and the rain
And lit her face among the crowded
Dock of the bay

And then he knew, clearer than water
She was the woman in his dreams
Eyes of green, like the stream
Below thy feet

"Oh tell me ma′am, how should I call you?
So I can give my boat a name"
And she spoke, tender, sweet
"Natalie"


Oh river, let be your will
Oh river, let be your will
On the ferry with your name
Oh, Natalie
