up come old lazarus - brian carpenter and the confessions lyrics

[verse 1]
the sirens they are singing for all you wayward sailors
poor lazarus, he’s shipwrecked off the island of bethany
he sank down to the ocean floor all tangled in the seaweed
and he slept one thousand years down in the mire

poor lazarus was kept alive but didn’t come to know it
until one night he looked to the stars inquiring all dead poets
and keats and poe and tennyson they all unraveled to him
they said, son you’ve only one foot in the grave
another sailor bows and throws himsеlf into the water
he’s seen this man bеfore somewhere with darkened eyes upon him
he said he was once a prisoner until his angel freed him
and he wished upon the stars and disappeared

[verse 2]
he trembled as he washed ashore, the sunlight bathed upon him
he crept out from the darkness of his solitary chamber
with blinking eyes and whitened hair from all the years of questioning
a lifetime all but swept up by the waves

he crawled out from the ocean and he lay back down beside her
still breathing on the sand he whispered all the words that matter
but long ago they parted like the waves fall from the shoreline
and he slept one thousand years down in the mire

[chorus]
the day that she arrived to him from many miles away
she told him that she loved him and she asked for him to stay
he’ll never know the answer to the prayer he never prayed
well, up come old lazarus
up come old lazarus from the grave
[chorus]
the day that she arrived to him from many miles away
she told him that she loved him and she asked for him to stay
he’ll never know the answer to the prayer he never prayed
well, up come old lazarus
up come old lazarus from the grave
up come old lazarus
up come old lazarus from the grave
up come old lazarus
up come old lazarus
