The Messenger Lyrics

Lyric discussion by Taffin 

Cover art for The Messenger lyrics by Tea Party, The

This is a cover of the original version by Daniel Lanois from his album "For the Beauty of Wynona". They're paced quite differently, and both versions are excellent. If you like some of the softer stuff The Tea Party does, Daniel Lanois is worth checking out, specifically the aforementioned album.

I don't really know what this song means, though I've thought it over for some time. If anyone could enlighten me, I'd be grateful, it's a long time favourite of mine.
