Leave Lazarus asleep
Seems to me he prefers to dream
I look among the living with my living eye
I leave Lazarus
Let sleeping dead things lie

The still place is watching me
The still place is watching you
I was not away too long but I have moved on and on
Oh Lazarus
Beyond the sweet beyond

It's not before anymore. It's not before anymore.
I see the bones overlaid upon your door.
It's not before anymore. It's not before anymore.
My door is mine, and yours, my darling, yours.

Maybe there's finally relief.
Maybe the dead are free from grief.
I need to ring out like a bell, loud and clear and bright,
Leaving Lazarus
Let scared to live things die

Farewell Lazarus
Let sleeping dead things lie
Goodbye Lazarus.

It's not before anymore. It's not before anymore.
I see the bones overlaid upon your door.
It's not before anymore. It's not before anymore.
My door is mine, and yours, my darling, yours, evermore.
