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
