Nature Is The Law Lyrics

Old river and your,
Restless wonder and your,
Graceful leisure rolling to the sea.

Many men have,
Stood like I am,
Gazing out and wishing for someone.

And some are living and,
Some are dead and,
Some are hiding waiting for the sun.

Nature is the law, baby,
Nature is the law now baby now,
Nature is the law, baby,
Nature is the law now baby now.

The old river with your,
Restless swagger and your,
Graceful wonder flowing to the sea.

I am begging you to,
Roll me and throw me in and,
Tell me when I will find my peace.

Some are dead and then,
Some are living and then,
Some are waiting for the sun.

Nature is the law, baby,
Nature is the law now baby now,
Nature is the law, baby,
Nature is the law now baby now.

Nature is the law, baby,
Nature is the law now baby now (restless wonder flowing to the sea).

Nature is the law, baby,
Nature is the law now baby now,
Nature is the law, baby,
Nature is the law now baby now.

Nature is the law, baby,
Nature is the law now baby now (restless wonder rolling to the sea).
Nature is the law, baby,
Nature is the law now baby now (restless wonder rolling to the sea).

Some are dead (nature is the law),
Some are buried (nature is the law),
Some are waiting (restless wonder rolling to the sea).

the background vocals in this song are incredible.

the background vocals are by Brian Wilson, the brilliant composer/producer in the Beach Boys. He's one of Ashcroft's idols.

The deep baritone vocal of this song shocked me then grew on me by the first refrain. It then gave gravitas to the huge theme of the song. The layered backing vocals add further. The poetic description of the restless swagger and graceful wonder of a river blow the socks off the usual "rollercoaster' metaphor for life. I've heard people tell me they are spiritual but not religious. I think I get that from this song.
