Messengers Lyrics

[Chorus]

Oh! Tell her I'm lost, but that's alright

‘Cause after twenty-something years

I can barely walk a line

Only messengers can tell her how I'm

Missing her tonight



[Verse 1]

If you're looking for her

She's right down the road

She'll be sittin' on a swing in the sun

Making stones turn to gold

Let her know that the family she knew

Keeps her locket and keys

Tell her everything is fine

And she's missed like the winds miss the trees



And if you're searching for her

She's always shedding light

She's the one you can't miss

‘Cause her smile makes the sun seem less bright

But if you find her, be still

Tell her everything about the time you've killed

Let her know that the bad times

Will pass, and I miss her like hell



[Chorus]

Oh! Tell her I'm lost, but that's alright

‘Cause after twenty-something years

I can barely walk a line

Only messengers can tell her how I'm

Missing her tonight



[Verse 2]

But if you're searching for worth

Well, you'll find it with her

But she'll ask for your trust

‘Cause it's hard being shown how to learn

So, let her know that the stars

Haven't moved, God, I hope they're the same

Tell her life could be worse

And I'm trying my best now to change



[Chorus]

Oh! Tell her I'm lost, but that's alright

‘Cause after twenty-something years

I can barely walk a line

Only messengers can tell her how I'm

Missing her tonight



[Verse 3]

If it's after the dawn be sure you're alone

‘Cause she's the kind best enjoyed like a

Pool under cottonwoods and stones

So let her laugh wash

You clean like the rains

On the tilted windowpanes

Give her everything and more

And she'll give you the world in exchange



[Chorus]

Oh! Tell her I'm lost, but that's alright

‘Cause after twenty-something years

I can barely walk a line

Only messengers can tell her how I'm

Missing her tonight



[Bridge]

Tell her everything is good, but I miss how her eyes

Would take me home

Tell her life is getting faster and I miss the way she'd make it

Move so slow

And tell her I am still alive and I wish that was something

I Could boast

‘Cause I'm up in the sky now

And the stars haven't ever seemed this close



[Chorus]

Oh! Tell her I'm lost, but that's alright

‘Cause after twenty-something years

I can barely walk a line

Only messengers can tell her how I'm

Missing her tonight



[Verse 4]

So, if you're searching for love

She's right down the road

She'll be sittin' on a swing in the sun

Making stones turn to gold
