Mystery Songtext

Different country

You and I have always lived in a different country

And I know that airline tickets don't grown 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 Thames Water Authority

But I know that you would have found it insanitry
Insanitry



Taken a violent dislike to me

I'd be foolish to ignore the possibilities

That if we had ever actually met you might have hated me

Still, that's not the only problem that I can see



Dead since 1973

You've been dead now.. wait a minute let me see

Fifteen 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



Mystery
