No man can know Where the dark heart of 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 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 You're 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
