Lyrics Edie Brickell

Edie Brickell

The Messenger

I know you've tried

Very hard in your life to be kind

You have held on stranger for the other guy

People have changed

Very little since you've been alive

But you have grown

To see them more with your heart than

Your eyes can fail to give the right portrayal

Was a bird behind a tree

Gave me a mind to feel better

He said just because you cannot see

Doesn't mean that it isn't there

Some days are long without a song you can sing to feel

good

No sign for God to make it understood

succumbs to emptiness

And a bird behind a tree

Gave me a mind to feel better

He said just because you cannot see

Doesn't mean that it isn't there

Come on over to me, stop your crying please

By the reflection of a little pond

His eyes were friendly and his legs were long, so long

You gazed a while

Out the window with your cigarette

Rebellious child

So many teras to shed

Then he cames as if to say your name

And you knew he spoke to you

Clear as the voice in your own mind

He said, just because you cannot see

Doesn't mean that you cannot find
