Intro
Riff): , , ,
Mystery
All my life has been a mystery
You and I were never ever meant to be
That's why I call my love for you a mystery
Riff
Different country
You and I have always lived in a different country
And I know that airline tickets don't grow on a tree
So what kept us apart is plain for me to see
That much at least is not really a mystery
Riff
Estuary
I live in a houseboat on an estuary
Which is handy for my work with the Port Authority
But I know you would have found it insanitary
Insanitary
Insanitary
Riff
Hate me
I'd be foolish to ignore the possibility
That if we'd ever actually met, you might have hated me
Still, thats not the only problem that I can see
Riff
Dead since 1993
You've been dead now . . . wait a minute, let me see
Fourteen years come next January
As a human being you are history
So why do why I still long for you?
Why is my love so strong for you?
Why did I write this song for you?
Well, I guess it's just a mystery
Mystery
