an acoustic guitar song, inspired by an old bar that used to be on Goodwin St. in Urbana. It was a unique place, and my friends and I used to go there to see everything from reggae bands to jazz and acoustic folk. The title got stuck somewhere in the back of my mind I guess. This was recorded on an old tape, Mercurial: songs from my living room.

Well I know you've been hurting, baby And I know things have not been the best Your friends have all left you lonely And your fortune is gone But I know of a place you can run to To hide from the world To drive away all your fears And bring back the best of years Just lay yourself down on the table The table of nature And feel all the beauty around you You're safe and secure Forget all your worries, baby 'Cause I'm here for you now Just lay yourself down on nature's table When trouble in on your shoulders And you don't think that you can survive Just wait 'til the night has fallen And run away with me Just lay yourself down on the table The table of nature And listen to what the wind Whispers in your ear It tells you to fall asleep And dream of a world of peace Just lay yourself down on nature's table
