Shawn Colvin - Kill The Messenger Lyrics

Send "Kill The Messenger" ringtone to your cell

Jane it sure looks like rain

These canadian plains and their windblown hair

Oh jane the bruise colored clouds

The smell of the ground in the ripening air

I have seen you in your fluttering dress

And your dry face of steel

As you're dragging your red rowing boat

'cross the forever fields

See jane something's gone dead inside my head

There's nothing but fear

Oh jane the rivers of grief the tears of relief

Seem ages from here

Sometimes the beauty of life

Hits like lightening washing everything clear

And these dimmers of doubt flicker

And fade out and disappear

But jane that is a luxury

There are those of a little faith it seems

And they beg for truth like charity

And i see them on every street corner

They are holding out one righteous hand

While the other leads the marching band

In the shadow hymn of the scratch man

Heed the message kill the messenger

Oh jane i heard you found love

Wriggling up from the mud on the shores of granville

Oh but jane in the wink of an eye

The naysayers fly like the hounds at your heels

Oh jane now they'll whisper your name

And you won't feel the chains you won't see the moss

Oh jane there's an art to the game

The aesthetics of love the athletics of loss

Sometimes someone drifts by

And our nets get entwined in the sea

And in time i might find

They still mean something to me

But jane that is a luxury

There are those of a little faith in me

And they pull me down like gravity

And i see them on every street corner

They are masters in the sleight of hand

They are dancers and they step so grand

To the shibboleth of shadowland

Heed the message kill the messenger
