Gray David Mystery Of Love Lyrics

Mystery Of Love Lyrics

The city gates at twilight

 And a red ship sinking

 Behind winter's grey wall

 Ice in the wind

 But a fire in the embers

 of my heart

 As darkness falls

 In a candlelit room

 Where your eyes are laughing

 Smoking in the red chair

 And nothing in the world

 'cept the beating of my heart

 Against the nerves of the air

 

 And I know there's a light

 At the end of the tunnel

 Cos I taste it on your lips

 And I feel a weight

 That can bear me double

 You lift it with your fingertips

 So often it happens

 That words prove useless

 In the face of how it feels

 So it is as the mystery of love

 keeps growing

 The more my heart reveals

 

 Temptations endless whispers

 Try to keep it in perspective

 So much to distract

 Walking on a wire

 While your juggling desire

 It's all part of this balancing act

 And it gets hard to know

 Just what you believe

 As the argument rages on

 But for all of the talk

 Its only true to say

 That if you have no hope

 There is none

 

 A tangle of tongues

 Flesh flowers and thistles

 of conscience, spittle and skin

 We can't change the past

 So we'll raise this cup to our lips

 And drink it all in

 And meantime back in civilization

 The rain is cold as steel

 But the mystery of love

 It just keep growing

 The more my heart reveals

 

 As sure as the rose

 The bright day blooms

 As surely still it fades

 And the night kindles stars

 On empty winds

 And ghosts along the collonades

 And slow but sure

 the sands are falling

 As the bridge burns

 beneath the wheel

 And the mystery of love

 It just keeps growing

 The more my heart reveals

 The more my heart reveals
