Willy Porter – Mystery lyrics
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 danced drunk on the air
On the air
I said what I like about you
Are all the birds that you set free
I see 'em out on the wire
'Neath the streetlight
And the mystery of you
Keeps me holdin' on
Like the mystery of two
Keeps me down where the river banks bend
With barefoot stars and satellites
I studied the lines of your face
Tucked them away in the sweet light
In the sweet light
It's the broken man in me
Had given up on gettin' through
The bare trees of my history
The days before you
What I love about you
Are all the things that I can't see
When you take off your dress
In the sweet light
And the mystery of you
Keeps me holdin' on
Like the mystery of truth
Keeps me holdin' on
Yeah, the mystery of you
Keeps me holdin' on forever
It goes on
Oh
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 me holdin' on
Like the mystery of you, you
Yeah, the mystery of you
Cotton candy, the queen of the fair
The moon burned through your fabric like a gypsy moth
You danced drunk on the air
On the air
I said what I like about you
Are all the birds that you set free
I see 'em out on the wire
'Neath the streetlight
And the mystery of you
Keeps me holdin' on
Like the mystery of two
Keeps me down where the river banks bend
With barefoot stars and satellites
I studied the lines of your face
Tucked them away in the sweet light
In the sweet light
It's the broken man in me
Had given up on gettin' through
The bare trees of my history
The days before you
What I love about you
Are all the things that I can't see
When you take off your dress
In the sweet light
And the mystery of you
Keeps me holdin' on
Like the mystery of truth
Keeps me holdin' on
Yeah, the mystery of you
Keeps me holdin' on forever
It goes on
Oh
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 me holdin' on
Like the mystery of you, you
Yeah, the mystery of you
