Patti Smith - Wicked Messenger Lyrics

Font:      
Align:    
  • (Bob Dylan)
  • There was a wicked messenger
  • From Eli he did come,
  • With a mind that multiplied
  • The smallest matter.
  • When questioned who had sent for him,
  • He answered with his thumb,
  • For his tongue it could not speak, but only flatter.
  • He stayed behind the assembly hall,
  • It was there he made his bed,
  • Oftentimes he could be seen returning.
  • Until one day he just appeared
  • With a note in his hand which read,
  • "The soles of my feet, I swear they're burning."
  • Oh, the leaves began to fallin'
  • And the seas began to part,
  • And the people that confronted him were many.
  • And he was told but these few words,
  • Which opened up his heart,
  • "If ye cannot bring good news, then don't bring any."
