No man can know Where the dark art of God is at In the garbage or the weeds Or the crest on the mountaintop Hangin' from a line 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 pomegranate tree 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
