"Gazing From The Shore" lyrics - MARK LANEGAN

No man can know
Where the dark-hearted god is at
In the garbage or the weeds
Or the crest of the mountain top

Hanging from a line
Gonna fall a long way
My fingernails in [?]
Gonna fall a long way

Somebody's knocking
Is anyone there?
I was a carpenter, building this house
And now it's ash and bare

Everything will bleed
There's no higher truth than that
The pomegranate tree
The ink and the mountain cat

Hanging from a line
Gonna fall a long way

I'm out here knocking
And nobody's home
I was a sailor, lost in the storm
Of my own making there

Please, someone, leave a light on
A beacon for me to find my way
I washed up on an island
My lifeboat 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 knocking
Is anyone there?
I see a halo hanging in air
Through a window there

You could have 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
