Mark Lanegan - Gazing from the shore

No man can know
Where the dark heart of God is at
In the garbage or the weeds
Or the crest on the mountain top

Hanging from a line
Gonna fall a long way
By fingernails and grime
Gonna fall a long way

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

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 home?
I see a halo hanging 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
