Terry Callier - Lazarus Man lyrics



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
Iīve comne to your country from a far away land
I canīt quite remember the last time I was on shore
Coulda been twelve years - it coulda been more
But Iīve seen tribulation and itstaggered my mind
And I just donīt remember whatI come her to find

Refrain: Itīs wind on the ocean, rain on the land
Three drops of water and one grain of sand
Iīll tell you the stroy as quick as I can
Iīve got nothing by time , Iīm Lazarus Man

He saide "I woke one morninīand 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 stumblinīand rising so I couldnīt 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 didnīt have room
I threw off the sheets and stepped out of the tomb"

Refrain:

Now Iīve been from nazareth to high barbary
And I realize thereīs no rest for me
Ißve been out on the desert
Ißve been out on the deep
But since he bid me to rise
I ainīt been to sleep

Refrain:
