Ballad Of The Weary Messenger Lyrics

There's a gun on the table with one in the chamber

One day will be your last

When your heart's divided you can't hide it

When it all comes to pass

They'll sing Hallelujah

But the choir is fading away

Superstition, the only thing here that remains

I'll meet somebody tomorrow morning

With an envelope of contents unknown

I'll cross the border those were my orders

God knows if I'll make it home

They'll sing Hallelujah

But the choir is fading away

Superstition, the only thing here that remains

Time after time I waited all night

For you to appear in my dreams

I can't believe how lucky I've been

I wish you were still here with me

The women come easy when the liquor pours freely

Down here in no man's land

But they'll double cross you

If your eyes aren't open

You never stood a chance

They'll sing Hallelujah

But the choir is fading away

Superstition, the only thing here that remains
