The Messenger - Edie Brickell

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

Very little since you’ve been alive

But you have grown

To see them more with your heart than your eyes

Can fail to give the right portrayal

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
