Messenger

O she’s a messenger with body bold and bare

You’ve always been a gentleman but tonight you can’t help but stare

And your senses have been soaked, it must be more than smoke floating on the air

O she’s a messenger, if she knows she doesn’t care

O she’s a messenger and slowly from within

Her message has been amplified and written on your skin

Despite what you maintain she drives you like a train, here she comes again

O she’s a messenger, where you going, where you been

And all the amber lantern lights preside upon her path tonight

The stars have long decided where she’ll go

There is no chance to grasp or guide the absent reins, the terrible tide

The stars have long decided where she’s go

O she’s a, O she’s a, catch you in the morning she’s a long season

O she’s a messenger tonight

You drove your truck to Michigan but you couldn’t beat the rain

You registered a motel but you didn’t use your name

And the audience applauds on the TV down the hall, you wonder what they’re saying

O she’s a messenger who sings a sad refrain

O she’s a, O she’s a, catch you in the morning she’s a long season

O she’s a messenger tonight

O she’s a, O she’s a, catch you in the morning she’s a long season

O she’s a messenger tonight
