Gazing from the Shore

No man can know

Where the dark art of God is at

In the garbage or the weeds

Or the crest on the mountaintop

Hangin' from a line

Gonna fall a long way

My fingernails have grime

Gonna fall a long way

Somebody's knockin', is anyone there?

I was a carpenter buildin' this house

And now it's ash and dust

Everything will bleed

There's no higher truth than that

The pomegranate tree

The ink and the mountain cat

Hangin' from a line

Gonna fall a long way

I'm out here knockin' and nobody's home

I was a sailer lost in the storm

Of my own makin' there

Please, someone leave a light on

A beacon for me to find my way

I washed up on an island

My light boat was crushed upon the waves

Don't leave me standing here

Just gazing from the shore

Just gazing from the shore

Don't leave me standing here

Somebody's knockin', is anyone home?

I see a halo hangin' in air

Through a window there

You could've left a light on

A candle for me to find my way

A simple wooden handle

To open up the door to another day

Don't leave me standing here

Just gazing from the shore

Don't leave me standing here

Just gazing from the shore

Just gazing from the shore
