Elton John - The Messenger Lyrics
Music by elton johnLyrics by tim riceProduced by phil ramoneDuet with luluAvailable on the album elton john and tim rices aidaEverything is settled, immovable and calmNothing that has plagued our lives can ever do us harmThen the voices railed against us, then the path was steepNow the sounds are softer, now the road is endedIn your arms, Ill sleepTurn away from madness, burn the inner lightPray for me as cheerfully as I slip into the nightDeath is just a visitor watching for a whileSullen and predictable, love is versatileEverything is peaceful, and falling into placeI no longer feel the wounds suffered in the chaseThen we were at turns divided, then by turns oppressedNow the pain is over, now we lie togetherGratefully at restPut aside the notion that the end is nearStay with me eternally, the terrors disappearDeath is just a messenger in a poor disguiseFooling no one, lost for words, love is in your eyesNow we know as we are known, unimagined thingsDeath is just the messenger, love the truth it brings
