Nature Boy
I was just a boy when I sat down
To watch the news on TV
I saw some ordinary slaughter
I saw some routine atrocity
My father said, don't look away
You got to be strong, you got to be bold, now
He said, that in the end it is beauty
That is going to save the world, now
And she moves among the sparrows
And she floats upon the breeze
She moves among the flowers
She moves something deep inside of me
I was walking around the flower show like a leper
Coming down with some kind of nervous hysteria
When I saw you standing there, green eyes, black hair
Up against the pink and purple wisteria
You said, hey, nature boy, are you looking at me
With some unrighteous intention?
My knees went weak, I couldn't speak, I was having thoughts
That were not in my best interests to mention
And she moves among the flowers
And she floats upon the smoke
She moves among the shadows
She moves me with just one little look
You took me back to your place
And dressed me up in a deep sea diver's suit
You played the patriot, you raised the flag
And I stood at full salute
Later on we smoked a pipe that struck me dumb
And made it impossible to speak
As you closed in, in slow motion,
Quoting Sappho, in the original Greek
She moves among the shadows
She floats upon the breeze
She moves among the candles
And we moved through the days and through the years
Years passed by, we were walking by the sea
Half delirious
You smiled at me and said, Babe
I think this thing is getting kind of serious
You pointed at something and said
Have you ever seen such a beautiful thing?
It was then that I broke down
It was then that you lifted me up again
She moves among the sparrows
And she walks across the sea
She moves among the flowers
And she moves something deep inside of me
She moves among the sparrows
And she floats upon the breeze
She moves among the flowers
And she moves right up close to me
To watch the news on TV
I saw some ordinary slaughter
I saw some routine atrocity
My father said, don't look away
You got to be strong, you got to be bold, now
He said, that in the end it is beauty
That is going to save the world, now
And she moves among the sparrows
And she floats upon the breeze
She moves among the flowers
She moves something deep inside of me
I was walking around the flower show like a leper
Coming down with some kind of nervous hysteria
When I saw you standing there, green eyes, black hair
Up against the pink and purple wisteria
You said, hey, nature boy, are you looking at me

She moves among the sparrows
And she floats upon the breeze
She moves among the flowers
And she moves right up close to me

One & Only
Well....... The New Album is finished and is off to the printers today so it should be released on the 14th July......
You can hear one of tracks, 'One & Only' on my myspace page: myspace.com/davidgatemusic
and I'll be putting a few more over the next few weeks.....
It's going to be called 'Nothing to Fear' and will be released on Trinity's label...... Produced by my own fair hand, I am more satisfied with this than any other record I've been involved in..... it is not nearly perfect enough (and I still can't sing like Scott Walker) but its my best shot and I can live with that.....
Track Order:
Imago Dei
The Way That You Father Me
Bones
Psalm 23
The One I Adore
One and Only
Hope of Better Days
Thank You
One Thing
Everywhere I Go
Nothing Bigger
Pure Like You
can't wait for you to hear it....

This New Move....
BAM!
People all over the world are seeing that God is on the move doing new and incredible things...
my favourite line from the post is....
"This is a Holy Spirit inspired movement, not a worship leader inspired movement. Expect to write and sing new songs that won't make the CCLI top 25"
Amen to that!
....and Amen to this!
