Mystery

Indigo Girls

(handed down and made by hand) 
each time you'd pull down the driveway 
i wasn't sure when i would see you again 
yours was a twisted blind sided 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 
when summer's beginning to give up her fight 
and every thought's a possibility 
and the voices are heard but nothing is seen 
why do you spend this time with me 
maybe an equal mystery 
so what is love then is it dictated or chosen 
(handed down and made by hand) 
does it sing like the hymns of 1000 years 
or is it just pop emotion 
(handed down and made by hand) 
and if it ever was there and it left 
does it mean it was never true 
and to exist it must elude 
is that why i think these things of you 
i could go crazy on a night like tonight 
when summer's beginning to give up her fight 
and every thought's a possibility 
and 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 
and you like to stand in the line of fire 
just to show you can shoot straight from you hip 
there must be a 1000 things you would die for 
i can hardly think of two 
but not everything is better spoken aloud 
not when i'm talking to you 
oh the pirate gets the ship and the girl tonight 
breaks a bottle to christen her 
basking in the exploits of her thief 
she's a very good listener 
maybe that's all that we need 
is to meet in the middle of impossibility 
we're standing at opposite poles 
equal partners in a mystery 
(handed down and made by hand) 
we're standing at opposite poles 
equal partners in a mystery
