Thea Gilmore - The Wicked Messenger lyrics

There was a wicked messenger from
Eli he did come with a mind that multiplied
The smallest matter
When questioned who had sent for him
He answered with his thumb
For his tongue it could not
Speak but only flatter

He stayed behind the assembly hall
It was there he made his bed
Oftentimes he could be seen returning
Until one day he just appeared with a
Note in his hand which read
The soles of my feet, I swear they're burning

Oh, the leaves began to fallin' and
The seas began to part
And the people that confronted him were many
And he was told but these few
Words which opened up his heart
If ye cannot bring good news
Then don't bring any
