Paroles de Lazarus Man
I met a young man on the skeleton coastHe 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" 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
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!"

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

It's wind on the ocean, rain on the land
Three drops of water and one grain of sand

I've got nothing by time, I'm Lazarus Man
