Indigo Girls » Mystery Lyrics

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 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 does it sing like the hymns of 1000 years or is it
just pop emotion and if it ever was here 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 but 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
voices are heard but nothing is seen why do you spend this time with
me maybe an equal mystery oh 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 your 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 and
maybe that's all that we need is to meet in the middle of impossibility
standing at opposite poles equal partners in a mystery we're standing
at opposite poles equal partners in a mystery
