Mark Lanegan - Gazing From The Shore Lyrics
No man can know
Where the dark art of God is at
In the garbage or the weeds
Or the crest on the mountaintop
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 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

I LIVED THIS, Yesterday...
Quick and happy song not suited to you mr.Lanegan.
Mark Lanegan isn't suited for you, mr. Shithead. Instead of trying to tell what an artist should or shouldn't do, go make your own garbage music and leave the real talented art for the rest of us who enjoy it.

I'm not talking to you mr.Knowitall. So, fuck off and shut up.
That riff really reminds me of the cure fucking amazing as always lanners
Has an interpol vibe at times.
I was thinking more Martin Hannett's Joy Division sound.
@frdh1357 Maybe, but, there is something distinct about the vocal notes that has interpol written all over it, to me.
Great song!
No man can know where the dark heart of god is at
In the garbage or the weeds
Or the crest of the mountaintop
Hanging from a line
Gonna fall a long way
My 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 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
The mixes on this album are not good, the songs are great though! Too bad.
Not sure I agree. Although the sound that you get out of youtube is really not comparable to what you get out of the CD or mp3. Just listened to my mp3 and this video. The detail and clarity really is lost on youtube for some reason.
Mark, you are a legend.
