Mystery

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

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

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

Hated me
I'd be foolish to ignore the possibility
That if we ever actually met
You might have taken a really violent dislike to me
Still that's not the only problem that I can see

Dead since 1993
You've been dead now
Wait a minute let me see
14 years
Come next January
As a human being you are history

So why do 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
Just a mystery
Mystery
