    I love this song too! I was at that concert, was bloody frozen and loved that concert! I think I nearly peed myself when Neil Finn came out. :lol::lol::lol:

    "Marker In The Sand"

    There is a marker,... no one sees it 'cause the sand
    Has covered over,... all the messages it kept
    Misunderstanding,... what original truth was
    And out expanding,... in a faith but not in love

    What went wrong?

    Walking tightrope high,... over moral ground
    Seeing visions of,........ falling up somehow
    Do come down

    With the living, let,... what is living love
    So unforgiving, yet,...... needing forgiveness first

    God, what do you say?

    Those undecided,.... Needn't have faith to be free
    And those misguided, there was a plan for them to be
    Now you got both sides claiming killing in Gods name
    But God is nowhere,.. to be found conveniently

    What goes on?

    Walking tightrope high,... over moral ground
    Walk the bridges,......... before you burn them down
    Do come round

    With the living, let,... what is living love
    So unforgiving, yet,...... needing forgiveness first

    God, what do you say? What do you say?

    There is a sickness,... a sickness coming over me
    Like watching freedom,. Being sucked straight out to sea
    An the solution?...... Well, from me far would it be
    But the delusion,..... Is feeling dangerous to me

    What goes wrong?

    Walking tightrope high,... over moral ground
    Seeing visions of,........ falling up somehow
    Do come down

    With the living, let,... what is living love
    So unforgiving, yet,...... needing forgiveness first

    What do you say,.......... God, what do you say?

    Calling out,....... Calling out.
    Calling out,....... I'm calling you out.

    Agreed, I think it's the only song off Avacado I haven't heard yet and it's probably one of the best on the album.

    The whole album is great.. but this song takes you on a lyrical ride..

    Is there a "bad" song on this album?

    anyone want to sell me the vinyl cheap? :)

    Big Wave is good song when I am stoned, bad is kind of harsh don't you think?

    Doesn't seem like they play much from Avocado nowadays...maybe the songs will come back into rotation in a few years.
    I want to hear more Binaural.

    It was played in Edmonton last year. I saw it in Columbus in 2010 and I think it was a pretty good performance.

    Marker in the Sand is one of my very favorites. A great spiritual that doesn't rely the preachiness or dogma of any particular religion. It's some kind of universal church music to me. The live version on Letterman is one of my favorite YouTube videos.
