Mystery Lyrics

    (handed down and made by hand)

    Each time you'd pull down the driveway
    I wasn't sure when i would see you again
    Yours was a twisted blind sided highway
    No matter which road you took then
    Oh you set up your place in my thoughts
    Moved in and made my thinking crowded
    Now we're out in the back with the barking dogs
    My heart the red sun
    Your heart the moon clouded
    I could go crazy on a night like tonight
    When summer's beginning to give up her fight
    And every thought's a possibility
    And the voices are heard but nothing is seen
    Why do you spend this time with me
    Maybe an equal mystery

    So what is love then is it dictated or chosen
    (handed down and made by hand)
    Does it sing like the hymns of 1000 years
    Or is it just pop emotion
    (handed down and made by hand)
    And if it ever was there and it left
    Does it mean it was never true
    And to exist it must elude
    Is that why i think these things of you
    I could go crazy on a night like tonight
    When summer's beginning to give up her fight
    And every thought's a possibility
    And the voices are heard but nothing is seen
    Why do you spend this time with me
    May be an equal mystery

    But you like the taste of danger
    It shines like sugar on your lips
    And you like to stand in the line of fire
    Just to show you can shoot straight from you hip
    There must be a 1000 things you would die for
    I can hardly think of two
    But not everything is better spoken aloud
    Not when i'm talking to you

    Oh the pirate gets the ship and the girl tonight
    Breaks a bottle to christen her
    Basking in the exploits of her thief
    She's a very good listener
    Maybe that's all that we need
    Is to meet in the middle of impossibility
    We're standing at opposite poles
    Equal partners in a mystery
    (handed down and made by hand)

    We're standing at opposite poles
    Equal partners in a mystery
