David Olney - Message To Garcia lyrics

Take a message to Garcia. Give him my regards And my regrets that I could not be there myself If he asks how I escaped in the hour before my d**h Tell him he'd do well to ask his wife She's the one who lured the guards away And left me with the key just like we planned For a woman will be reckless in matters of the heart She'll forsake a king and die for a bandit Take a message to Garcia. Ask him how it feels To go from the hunter to the hunted The nightmare's all too true and his fears are all too real There's nowhere he can turn to for comfort Ask him if his sleep is ever troubled And does he dream as I have for so long And does he think with sorrow on his women and his wealth Knowing one day soon they'll all be gone Take a message to Garcia. Say there's danger on the streets That he will know as I have known it Tell him to beware of friend as well as foe They are scheming though their smiles will never show it Tell him I regard him as a brother Though one of us must die when we next meet Take a message to Garcia. The tables now have turned And his empire is crumbling at his feet
