Biography:
Natalie Anne Merchant (born October 26, 1963 in Jamestown, New York) is an American alternative rock singer-songwriter. After rising to fame at the helm of the popular folk-rock band 10,000 Maniacs, Natalie Merchant enjoyed even greater success as a solo artist during the mid-'90s. Her literate, socially conscious songs established her among the preeminent women in pop music, while her solo debut -- 1995's Tigerlily -- helped pave the way for a number of female performers in a pre-Lilith Fair market.

why don't you let him be?

he's gone

give his mother and his father peace
your vulture's candor
your casual slander

it's nothing but a tragedy

lay to rest your soul and body

lay beside your name

Where you had died
C
Where you had died
D
I saw how they were lost in grieving

all half believing you were gone

Oh the loss and pain of it
crime and shame of it
C
you were gone

it was such a nightmare raving,
"how could we save him

from himself?"
