Lyrics
[Verse 1]
There was a wicked messenger
From Eli he did come
With a mind that multiplied the
Smallest matter
[Verse 2]
When asked who had sent for him
He answered with his thumb
'Cause his tongue, it could not speak
But only flatter
[Verse 3]
Oh, he stayed all night at the assembly hall
It was there he made his bed
And oftentimes he could be seen returning
[Verse 4]
Until one day, he just appeared
With a note in his hand that read
"The soles of my feet
I swear they're burning"
[Verse 5]
Oh, that man is solid again
He would slander his own heart
He would speak slowly
In the trees
Who'd just
Shiver
In the chest
Shiver
Shiver
[Verse 6]
The leaves began to fallin'
And the seas began to part
And the people that confronted him were many
[Verse 7]
And he was told these few words
It opened up his heart
If you cannot bring good news, then don't bring any
[Verse 8]
If you cannot bring good news, then don't bring any
If you cannot bring good news, then don't bring any
