Mystery

Rollin' through my mind
Like a carnival
Cotton candy
The queen of the fair
The moon
burned through your fabric
Like a gypsy moth
You dance drunk
On the air
On the air
I said
What I love about you
Are all the birds that you set free
I seen 'em out on the wire
'Neath the streetlight
And the mystery
Of you
Keeps me holdin' on
Like the mystery
Of truth
Keeps me
Down where the riverbanks bend
With barefoot stars
And satellites
Studied the lines of your face
Tucked them away
In the sweet light
In the sweet light
It's a broken man in me
Who'd given up on getting' through
The bare trees of my history
The days before you
What I love about you
Is everything that I can see
When you take off your dress
In the sweet light
And the mystery of you
Keeps me holding on
Like the mystery of truth
Keeps me holding on
Yeah the mystery
Of you
Keeps me holdin' on forever
It goes on
It goes on
Yeah….
Silhouettes and photographs
Color the lines around the past
All the carnage all the tears
Along the road to getting here
Yeah the mystery
Of you
Keep it goin'
Keep me holdin' on
Gonna get me through
Yeah the mystery of truth…
