David Gates - 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
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
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

David Gates Mystery Of Love Comments
Whoa, "ordinary man" sounds so much like the Blue Nile/Paul Buchanan it's startling. Paul, you should cover it, and David, you should cover some Blue Nile! That would be so cool...
rateyourmusic.com/artist/david-gates The album’s title track is as timeless a ballad as anything Gates has written, and was the all important first single. You may have seen it on CMTV, but it didn’t get the radio play to make it a hit. Over the phone he sounds hurt, but philosophical: “After ‘If’, I think it’s the best song I’ve ever written. That doesn’t mean it’s gonna sell a million records. It’s that much more difficult to get heard now.” colin-harper.com/journalism/david-gates/
Que álbum más sensual... Muy bueno!!
I used to own this on CD. Wish I could found a hard copy or wish spotify have it. I been looking for a couple of years. Billy Dean also do wrote a couple of these songs with David Gates and of my favorite song on this CD is No Sercet in a small town. Just remember that song when I was looking at your list of songs and that was one I played over and over just like I did tonight
Increíble experiencia disfrutar de este artista. Lo conocí en mi juventud en los 70.

Rona I have listened to this guy since Bread started up, no one in music compares with his voice and the songs he has written, thanks for posting.
Oh my gosh, there is hope. After listening to the last two albums today, i thought DG had totally sold out, BUT there is substance AND, more importantly, music here! even a harmonica and mandolin, and decent lyrics. I am a huge Bread fan, and thought he did well on his own in the 1st and 2nd albums, and this an encouraging return...
amazing 6th solo album from the bread singer david gates magic voice and i love this sounds like a country album i love it though, cause country is awesome. and he did a good job with a different sound here.
@Jamie Warrior Warlord McCallum Thanks, Jamie!
@Rona RS no worries i subbed both channels.
@Jamie Warrior Warlord McCallum Thank you very much! I wish you to be really welcome and always come here, bringing their great reviews!
A hug from Rona
@Rona RS awwww thanks hugs back and i will :)
