Mystery

each time you pull down the driveway
i wasn't sure when I would see you again
'cause yours was a twisted blindsided 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
the summer's beginning to give up her fight
and every thought's a possibility
the 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, and is it dictated or chosen
does it sing like the hymns of a thousand years
or is it just pop emotion
and if it ever was there and it left
does it mean it was never true
and to exist ???
is that why i think these things of you ???

i could go crazy on a night like tonight
the summer's beginning to give up her fight
and every thought's a possibility
the voices are heard but nothing is seen
why do you spend this time with me
may be an equal mystery

but you like the taste of danger
it shines like sugar on your lips
you like to stand in the line of fire
just to show you can shoot straight from your hip
must be a thousand things you would die for
i can hardly think of two
not everything is better spoken about
not when i'm talking to you

oh the pirate gets the ship ????
breaks a bottle to christen her
basking in the exploits of her thief ???
she's a very good listener
maybe that's all that need is to meet in the middle
of impossibility
standing at opposite poles
equal partners in a mystery
