The Messenger Lyrics - Tangents: The Tea Party Collection - Tea Party

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, not expecting to collide 

For a minute, I let my guard down 

Not afraid to be found out 

I 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 

This desire, I can't kill 

Take my heart, please, don't break it 

I will crawl to your foothill 

I'm frightened but I'm coming 

Please baby, please lay still 

Oh no, I'm not coming for the kill 

Oh no, I'm not coming for the kill 

Oh no, I'm not coming for the kill
