Lyrics
Old Messiah
Jay Ottaway
Thank you sweet linden tree
For all those dreams you fed to me
As I slept 'neath your shadows by the well
Carved my love in your bark at night
When times were dark you gave me light
Gentle leaves whispering in the breeze
Pass you by in the dark of night
My eyes are closed, but I hear just fine
Rustle of your branches call my name
You say come son I'll give you peace
Your offer means the world to me
But I flow with the current of the road
Old Messiah
A broken heart chased me out tonight
Old Messiah
I say goodbye
Old Messiah…….
Cold wind blows in my face and bites
My hat flies off, but I don't mind
Bitter air brings a comfort of its own
Think I've travelled ten crooked miles
But I still hear you, deep inside
Funny how your roots inside me grow
Old Messiah…….
Old Messiah…….
Old Messiah…….
Old Messiah…….
Thank you sweet linden tree
For all those dreams you fed to me
As I slept 'neath your shadows by the well
Old Messiah…….
Old Messiah…….
