Lyrics

[00:01.05] music
[00:08.04] There was a wicked messenger
[00:10.03] From Eli he did come
[00:13.51] With a mind that multiplied the smallest matter
[00:20.79] When questioned who had sent for him
[00:22.64] He answered with his thumb
[00:26.17] For his tongue it could not speak, but only flatter
[00:30.36] music
[00:46.44] He stayed behind the assembly hall
[00:53.50] It was there he made his bed
[00:53.88] Oftentimes he could be seen returning
[00:57.87] Until one day he just appeared
[01:00.49] With a note in his hand which read
[01:04.48] “The soles of my feet, I swear they’re burning”
[01:09.40] music
[01:22.85] Oh, the leaves began to fallin’
[01:26.71] And the seas began to part
[01:30.14] And the people that confronted him were many
[01:36.03] And he was told but these few words
[01:38.44] Which opened up his heart
[01:43.11] “If ye cannot bring good news, then don’t bring any”
[01:45.87] music
