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 I´ve comne 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 itstaggered my mind And I just don´t remember whatI come her to find Refrain: It´s wind on the ocean, rain on the land Three drops of water and one grain of sand I´ll tell you the stroy as quick as I can I´ve got nothing by time , I´m Lazarus Man He saide "I woke one mornin´and 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 stumblin´and rising so I couldn´t 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 didn´t have room I threw off the sheets and stepped out of the tomb" Refrain: Now I´ve been from nazareth to high barbary And I realize there´s no rest for me Ißve been out on the desert Ißve been out on the deep But since he bid me to rise I ain´t been to sleep Refrain:
