Messenger Bird's Song
The kitchen is cold
But the coffee is warm
And the sun's coming up
The day has just begun
And you're already bored
Bored of cheering me up
Bored of calming me down
Bored of drying my eyes
But there once was a time
When you were the one
You were the blue of the sky
You came after the storm
You were the switch on the wall
In the dark of the hall
I'm still fumbling for
'Cause I'm lost in the black
I dont know where I am
And my arms stretched out in front
And I'm calling your name
Just as loud as I can
And I know there's words that we will never speak
And the questions can't be answered easily
But I wanted to be easy so
Nod your head if the plans have changed
Shake it, love, if they've stayed the same
Smile at me and I will stay
Start to cry and I'll go away
Just please don't leave me guessing
So you made me come
Then you sent me away
Like a messenger bird
So I circled the Earth
Blown away in the wind
But I always returned
With some new little song
Some sad story to tell
Of a brief love affair
With a girl I compared to you and she failed
You said you don't want me to beg
Then you said get down on your knees
'Cause you knew that I would
If I do any good satisfying your needs
And I know all about those things we can not speak
And just so you know well they don't bother me
So you don't have to be worried
Just nod your head if the plans have changed
Shake it, love, if they stayed the same
Smile at me and I will stay
Start to cry and I'll go away
Just please don't keep me waiting
Just nod your head if your mind's been changed
Shake it, love, if some hope remains
Just say the word and of course I'll stay
Roll your eyes and I'll go away
Just please don't leave me guessing
Just please don't keep me waiting
But the coffee is warm
And the sun's coming up
The day has just begun
And you're already bored
Bored of cheering me up
Bored of calming me down
Bored of drying my eyes
But there once was a time
When you were the one
You were the blue of the sky
You came after the storm
You were the switch on the wall
In the dark of the hall
I'm still fumbling for
'Cause I'm lost in the black
I dont know where I am
And my arms stretched out in front
And I'm calling your name
Just as loud as I can
And I know there's words that we will never speak
And the questions can't be answered easily
But I wanted to be easy so
Nod your head if the plans have changed
Shake it, love, if they've stayed the same
Smile at me and I will stay
Start to cry and I'll go away
Just please don't leave me guessing
So you made me come
Then you sent me away
Like a messenger bird
So I circled the Earth
Blown away in the wind
But I always returned

Start to cry and I'll go away
Just please don't keep me waiting
Just nod your head if your mind's been changed
Shake it, love, if some hope remains
Just say the word and of course I'll stay
Roll your eyes and I'll go away
Just please don't leave me guessing
Just please don't keep me waiting
