- Terry Callier Lazarus Man 歌詞
- Terry Callier
- I met a young man on the skeleton coast
He was out of his feet and pale as a ghost
I asked him his name - he said Lazarus, man
Ive comne to your country from a far away land
I cant quite remember the last time I was on shore
Coulda been twelve years - it coulda been more
But Ive seen tribulation and itstaggered my mind
And I just dont remember whatI come her to find
Its wind on the ocean, rain on the land
Three drops of water and one grain of sand
Ill tell you the stroy as quick as I can
Ive got nothing by time , Im Lazarus Man
He saide 'I woke one morninand felt a little bit strange
By midafternoon there was fever and pain
And later that night with a few friends at my side
I went of to sleep and then I must have died
Cause I was stumblinand rising so I couldnt quite tell
Had one foot in glory and one foot in hell
On one side the gardenand on one sidethe flame
And I thought I heard somebody call out my name
Yeah, somebody was saying 'Lazarus arise!'
So I sat up and opened my eyes
You know I wanted to dance but I didnt have room
I threw off the sheets and stepped out of the tomb'
Its wind on the ocean, rain on the land
Three drops of water and one grain of sand
Ill tell you the stroy as quick as I can
Ive got nothing by time , Im Lazarus Man
Now Ive been from nazareth to high barbary
And I realize theres no rest for me
Ißve been out on the desert
Ißve been out on the deep
But since he bid me to rise
I aint been to sleep
Its wind on the ocean, rain on the land
Three drops of water and one grain of sand
Ill tell you the stroy as quick as I can
Ive got nothing by time , Im Lazarus Man
