Mystery-Willy Porter

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'
