Tom Jones - Lazarus Man
текст песни

I met a young man on the skeleton coast
He was out of his feet and he was 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, the last time I was on shore
Coulda been twelve years or might have been more
But I've seen tribulations and it troubled my mind
Can't quite remember what I, what I come here to find
It's wind on the ocean, rain on the land
Three drops of water, one grain of sand
I'll tell you a story as quick as I can
I got nothing by time, I
I'm Lazarus Man, yeah
He said, "I woke this mornin', felt a little bit strange
By mid-afternoon there was fever and pain
Later that night with my friends at my side
I went of to sleep and I, I guess that I died
I was stumblin' and risin' so I, I couldn't quite tell
One foot in glory and the other in hell
On one side the garden, the other side flame
I thought I heard somebody call out my name, yeah
Somebody was saying, "hey, Lazarus arise"
So I sat up and I opened my eyes
You know I wanted to dance but I, I didn't have no room
So I threw off the sheets and walked out of my tomb"
And it's a wind on the ocean, rain on the sand
Three drops of water and one grain of sand
I'll tell you a story as quick as I can
I got nothing but time, I'm Lazarus Man

I've been from Nazareth to high barbary
I realize there's no rest for me
I've been out on the desert
I've been out on the deep
But since he had me to rise
I ain't had no sleep
Wind on the ocean, rain on the land
Three drops of water and one grain of sand
I'll tell you a story as quick as I can
I got nothing but time, I'm Lazarus Man

I met a young man on the skeleton coast
He was out of his feet, he was pale as a ghost
I asked him his name, he said, "Lazarus, man"
I've come to your country from a, a far away land
There's wind on the ocean, rain on the land
Three drops of water and one grain of sand
I'll tell you a story as quick as I can
I got nothing but time I'm, I'm Lazarus Man
Mm, mm
Yes, 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 got nothing but time, I'm Lazarus Man
