Lazarus Man

I met a young man on the skeleton coast He was out of his feet and he was pale as a ghost I asked him his name, he said Lazarus, man I've come to this country from a far away land I can't quite remember that, the last time I was on shore Could've been twelve years, it could've been more But I've seen tribulation and it troubled my mind Can't quite remember what I, what I come here 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 but time, I'm Lazarus, man, yeah He said, "I woke this 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 I, I guess that i died I was stumblin' and rising so I, I couldn't quite tell One foot in glory and the other in hell A one side the garden and on one side flame And I thought I heard somebody call out my name, yeah Somebody was saying, "Hey, Lazarus arise" So I sat up and opened my eyes You know I wanted to dance but I, I didn't have room So I threw off the sheets and walked out of the tomb And it's wind on the ocean, rain on the sand Three drops of water and one grain of sand I'll tell you the story as quick as I can I've got nothing but time, Lazarus, man I've been from Nazareth to high Barbary 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 help me rise I ain't had no sleep 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 but time, Lazarus, man I met a young man on the skeleton coast He was out of his feet and he was pale as a ghost I asked him his name, he said Lazarus, man I've come to this country from a far away land 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, quick as I can I've got nothing by time, I'm Lazarus, man Yes, 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
