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 I've come to your country from a far away land I can't quite remember the last time I was on shore Coulda been twelve years - it coulda been more But I've seen tribulation and it staggered my mind And I just don't remember what I come her to find It's wind on the ocean, rain on the land Three drops of water and one grain of sand I'll tell you the story as quick as I can I've got nothing by time, I'm Lazarus Man He said "I woke one mornin' and felt a little bit strange By mid-afternoon 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 stumblin' and rising so I couldn't quite tell Had one foot in glory and one foot in hell On one side the garden and on one side the 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 didn't have room I threw off the sheets and stepped out of the tomb" Songtexte It's wind on the ocean, rain on the land Three drops of water and one grain of sand I'll tell you the story as quick as I can I've got nothing by time, I'm Lazarus Man Now I've been from Nazareth to high Barbary And I realise there's no rest for me I've been out on the desert I've been out on the deep But since he bid me to rise I ain't been to sleep It's wind on the ocean, rain on the land Three drops of water and one grain of sand I'll tell you the story as quick as I can I've got nothing by time, I'm Lazarus Man Aus Songtexte Mania
