"Mystery" lyrics - JACKSON C. FRANK

Lacy golden promises
You made while I was young
Later briars and brambles
Set me on the run
Just the sound in the dust
Dry boots led me on
To the place where unknown serpents
Curled and fled the dawn

Ah, mystery, Oh mystery
Why do you treat me so
To raise another devil
And with the devil go

Down with your false rebellion
Shaking through the trees
From wooden horse to hellion
To bring us to our knees

Red wind burning full tonight
Says you love us so
You have caused the time to pass
You're even in the snow

Ah, mystery, Oh mystery
How can you treat me so
Raise another devil
And with the devil go
With the devil go

I've been sorting out a plan
To leave you far behind
I'm certain that the 'cause of it
Isn't always kind
You're a blank for filling in
I give you nothing more
Mystery in the shadows
Standing by the door

Ah, mystery, Oh mystery
How can you treat me so
To raise another devil
And with the devil go
With the devil go
