The Courier Lyrics - Richard Shindell

I am a courier 

Crawling in the dirt 

Toward the front line 

As the crow flies 

A note stashed in my shirt 

From the Prince of Wales 

Far above the field 

With his marshalls 

And their chain-mail 

Their banners taut and high 

I did not ask him what the note said 

He did not offer to explain 

It s not my job to ask the questions 

I m just the courier

Can You Guess The Song By The Emojis? 

Every Lyric From Shawn Mendes' Self-Titled New Album 

Every Lyric From Keith Urban's New Album 'Graffiti U' 

A flare shot leaves a scar 

Burning in the dark 

On my forearms 

Toward the front line 

Then another fifty yards 

Crouching in the trench 

Clutching bayonettes 

A hundred men 

All knee-to-chest 

A hundred marionettes 

I am the string pulled by the sure hand 

Animating what was still 

I am invisible and faithful 

I am a courier

The 18 Greatest Revenge Songs of All Time 

The Captain breaks the seal 

And quickly reads the note 

On your feet boys 

Make you peace boys 

Pass those letters down 

To this courier 

Guardian of the word 

Hand him all you ve seen 

Hand him all you ve heard 

Hand him all your pearls 

And he ll go back to where he came from 

He will deliver each by hand 

He takes this as a point of honor 

To be a courier
