I knew you long before your name was in lights before your breakthrough summer I knew you prior to the yes men patronizing you before the night time vampire things you do I swear someitmes baby I would've gave up my right hand just to be there when you landed Well, I hope you're in Tornonto and you're okay I went to the airport but I was too late Well, I really wanna tell you I think you're okay but I wanted you to get away You told me that you needed rescuing again from all you childhood pain and suffering But noone came and told you that when you get grown that all those bad decisions they become your own Of all the great big mistakes I can boast your the one I like the most (chorus) If you're looking to the right and you see me sitting there on a cloud no aeroplane wishing that I wasn't there Must be seven or eight years ago now you crept back across my mind you can take a bow If you only allow me to wave goodbye wave you from my mind so I can see the sky Oh how the time it does roll on showing old love to it's dawn (chorus)

Nature Girl 03:47
My everything you make me see that life is beautiful shining light into the corners of my heart Pouring rain on where the grass used to grow how much I care for you, you'll probably never know and I...I'm so here for you The first spring I didn't think that it was possible all that beauty elequently untold Just when I started to make up my mind in come the winter time, just to remind me that I I've been so here for me I, I've been so here for me... Like a colour glass shadow, you cast a memory of a heart that's just now waking up inside of me I'v had my days where I think I've had about all I could take then comes a feeling, I could build again when there's nothing left to break when there's nothing left to break...

The Answers 04:33
We are a freshly dug garden we are and undug grave We are today as much as tomorrow, or yesterday We are lost as much as we are found as much as we are astray I went looking, for the answers they followed my just like a cancer around Well do you ever get the feeling like we're all dust living in some living room rug or a lamp in the corner shining our electric sun till our idle day has finally gone to bed Or maybe you've got the notion that our time is up or perhaps you're just not filling your cup oh mother nature's love will be there long after your gone when you go back to the dirt you know you're right where you belong I went looking for the answers they followedme just like a cancer around Oh and every sunrise seems to say that an end is surely coming to my days there will come a time when all my questions they can be erased We are a fresly dug garden we are a freshly dug garden

I woke up in a broken bed and the cloud, it was in my head brown sugar bacon baby floating through the air and all I can is a jet black hair On a faded pillow case embroided in tears and a bunch of broken dreams I'll be quiet as the night as I escape, into the light I see you stabbing me with those looks of love and I can see the arrow through your heart oh and in a minute, we could be walking around both of our west end souls in the, lost and found On a concrete be I lay got messed up again is that the sun All those nice things I bought you they lay on the ground and my west end soul lays up in the lost and found You probably won't be back again..

about

The album's title is a personification of mother nature; an innocent girl who holds the answers to man's age old questions of nature vs. nurture. Our need to understand her, and addiction to pacifying her.
