The Messenger

Got a letter from a messenger

I read it when it came

It said that you were wounded

You were bound and chained

You had love and you were handled

You were poisoned, you were pained

Oh-no, oh-no

You were naked, you were shamed

You could almost touch heaven

Right there in front of you

Liberty just slipped away on us

Now there's so much work to do

Oh, the door that closes tightly

Is the door than can swing wide

Oh-no, oh-no

Not expecting to collide

For a minute I let my guard down

Not afraid to be found out

Completely forgot, dear

What our fears were all about

Oh-no, oh-no

There's no need to be without

If there's a chance I would take it (Take it)

This desire I can't kill, no (Kill, no)

Take my heart, please don't break it (Break it)

I will crawl to your foothill

I'm frightened but I'm comin'

Please, baby, please lay still

Oh-no, oh-no

I'm not comin' for the kill

Oh, no

I'm not comin' for the kill

Oh, no

I'm not comin' for the kill
