The Wicked Messenger - BOB DYLAN DOCKLANDS ARENA LONDON, ENGLAND MAY 12, 2002 <br /> <br />"The Wicked Messenger" <br /> <br />There was a wicked messenger <br />From Eli he did come <br />With a mind that multiplied <br />The smallest matter <br />When questioned who had sent for him <br />He answered with his thumb <br />For his tongue it could not speak, but only flatter. <br /> <br />He stayed behind the assembly hall <br />It was there he made his bed <br />Oftentimes he could be seen returning <br />Until one day he just appeared <br />With a note in his hand which read <br />"The soles of my feet, I swear they're burning" <br /> <br />Oh, the leaves began to fallin' <br />And the seas began to part <br />And the people that confronted him were many <br />And he was told but these few words <br />Which opened up his heart <br />"If ye cannot bring good news, then don't bring any".
