"Mystery" lyrics - INDIGO GIRLS

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?
May be 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?
May be 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.
