Lazarus Lyrics - The Geography Of Light - Carrie Newcomer

Now that he's gone 

Now the world has moved on 

Since he called my name nothings the same 

As my sister cried 

He said, "Lazarus rise." To love and anoint 

Or just prove a point 

[Chorus] 

I'm the one that he saved 

I'm the one that he raised 

From a dark quiet sleep from peace of the grave 

I'm the one who owns much but that no one will touch 

Mothers see me and cry 

Dogs bare teeth as I walk by 

I don't see a veil between heaven and hell 

The truth is there's nothing but a warm light and singing 

But here in-between a voice haunts my dreams 

Martha does what she can but won't look at my hands 

[Chorus] 

I love the cool mornings I love a hot meal 

The pulse of the street night jasmine and clean sheets 

I can't sleep of rest I feel lost and hard pressed 

I wander these rooms still looking for you 

Now I ought to be grateful to drink from the grail 

But I don't be belong on either side of this veil 

I look down at my hands that are clasped in my lap 

When he left this world I thought he'd take me back...
