Daniel Lanois - The Messenger lyrics

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 loved 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 that can swing wide Oh no, oh no Not expecting to collide For a minute I let my guard down Not afraid to be found out Completely forgotten What our fears were all about Oh no, oh no There's no need to be without There's a chance and I will take it This desire I can't k** 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, oh no Not coming for the k** Oh no, oh no Not coming for the k** Oh no, oh no Not coming for the k**
