Messenger lyrics

Thepromise of you
It sleeps in the air
The air that I breathe
And I know thats it's true
Don't have to convince myself to believe, yeah
What secrets sleep in the heart of a man
So much love wasted
Slip right through my hands
See it in the eyes of the lonely
As they make their weary way
Shimmer in the eyes of longing
I hear it say

(Chorus)
Promise of you
It sleeps in the air

Lying here with you,
Listening to the rain,
Smiling just to see, The smile upon your face,
These are the moments, I thank God that I'm alive,
These are the moments, I'll remember all my life,
I found all I've waited for,
And I could not ask for more.
Looking in your eyes,
Seeing all I need,
Everything you are, Is everything to me,
These are the moments, I know heaven must exist,

Perfumed and smoky • She swears that she knows me • She's falling down drunk again • I say she's mistaken • She's visibly shaken • Emotions all drowned in gin • She said I used to be beautiful • But now it's all gone • I let my dreams slip away from me • That's where it went wrong • Go be young, go

The strands in your eyes that color them wonderful • Stop me and steal my breath • Emeralds from mountains thrust towards the sky • Never revealing their depth • Tell me that we belong together Dress it up with the trappings of love • I'll be captivated, I'll hang from your lips • Instead of the gallows of heartache that hang from above

She's a Blue Ridge cradle • She's a mother to some • And home to the laughter • Of road weary ones • So we'll sing all the old songs • Sing to grandmama road • And we'll sing cause we miss her • And we're sad she had to go • If I could see off this mountain • Through the clouds in my eyes • I would

Another beautiful morning under stars and bars • And F series pickups and rusted out cars • And they're eating breakfast at the strip bar • Just to have a peek… • And the beer soaked angels spread their wings • And dream of twenties and diamonds and things • And somehow that might ease the sting • Of the company they keep

Ghost on the street today
Doorways of Jackson Square
In tinsel and tap shoes
Mardi Gras beads in her hair

Down to the graveyard
She wrung out her hands
As if he will meet her
All day she stands

So don't leave me
And I know you're justified
So don't leave me
Cause a part of you in me died

We wish ourselves beautiful
We cry in the night
And it's not the love you feared

Let them in Peter • For they are very tired • Give them couches where the angels sleep • And light those fires • Let them wake whole again • To brand new dawns • Fired by the sun • Not war-times bloody guns • May their peace be deep • Remember where the broken bodies lie • God knows how young they w

Rolled in last night • To the dawn, the porch, and both our floodlights • No excuse • But we were having such a good time • Why, oh why • Can't I just walk the straight and narrow • So ashamed But I'll do it all again tomorrow • Maybe you're the only one that sees • Anything good about me Anything good about me â€&c

Wendy's sittin' next to me • She's trying hard to drink it away • And I feel the rumble of the subway Beneath the stage • And her eyes are screaming • And her lips are pursed • And this ain't her first heartache • But it feels like, it feels like the worst • And she says • Can someone tell me how this can happen â€&

One little gutter town 3:00 in the morning • I whispered these words I believed • Said leave me alone girl • I'm so tied down and broken • It's too late it's too late to save me • Ain't no wish in this world slight of this moment • No dream I could dream that comes near • No heaven or hope that comes near • No wish in
