Текст 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

As a bird behind a tree
Give 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 from God
To make it understood
Loneliness succumbs to emptiness

As a bird behind a tree
Give 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 tears to shed
Then he came 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
