Gord Downie - A Natural lyrics

We'd line up cans on the picnic table
In the backyard across the lawn
You stood soaking wet in your bathing suit
Taking deadly aim with your BB gun

You are a natural kissed by the sun
You are a natural you've just begun

With every can you'd hit
You'd smile the thinnest smile
You'd barely savour the applause
Or the jealousy of all the older ones
Just before you'd calmly killed a can
You'd pause

You are a natural there in the sun
You are a natural beautiful and young

And with all my life
I'll probably miss those days
Whiled away with you spent on nothing much
Watching you shoulder things, take deadly aim
Your finger on the trigger, your gentle touch

You are a natural you've only just begun
You are a natural i'm the lucky one

I'm the lucky one i'm the lucky one
I'm the lucky one
