Nature Boy (From "Moulin Rouge" Soundtrack)

David Bowie
Album : Moulin Rouge
Composition : Eden Ahbez

This story, It’s about love.
For the woman. . . . I loved
is. . . .dead.
Spoken words by Ewan McGregor in the orchestrated version.
There was a boy
A very strange and enchanted boy
They say he wandered very far, very far
Over land and sea
A little shy and sad of eye
But every wise was he
And then one day
One magic day he passed my way
And while we spoke of many things
Fools and kings
This he said to me
The greatest thing
You’ll ever learn
Is just to love
And be loved
In return
(I love you!)
Spoken by Nicole Kidman in the end of Massive Attack’s version.
