Indigo Girls - Mystery Lyrics






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 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 does it sing like the hymns of 1000 years or is it just pop emotion and if it ever was here 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 but 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 voices are heard but nothing is seen why do you spend this time with me maybe an equal mystery oh
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 your 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 and maybe that's all that we need is to meet in the middle of impossibility standing at opposite poles equal partners in a mystery we're standing at opposite poles equal partners in a mystery

    The Super Pharms are advertising their meds again. When is it okay to have Pharmaceutical Companies advertising on this great play list! Seek natural treatments before running to these companies.

    Michelle Renee -agreed. This song/poem is on the top of my list 💞

  14. d.... h....

    Its just another good song in the line of several before it. My personal favorite is "Closer to Fine". I like most of the songs they have, but...I like the way they sound together most of all....what a great sound. Its much like the classic bands......they belong together.

  15. S.... C....

    I have been listening to and working on their songs guitar and vocals for 20 yrs back in Santa fe New Mexico really brings back memories

  16. g.... ....

    I love this, and many other, Indigo Girls songs. They are so beautiful and lyrical and they sound so rich and layered.

  17. c.... ....

    It has been probably 15 years or more since I heard this song. It brings up such powerful memories of a back and forth break up I went through that was terribly heartbreaking. I thought this song was written for me. I was all ready a huge fan and when this came out it spoke so clearly everything I was going through and feeling. Thank you Indigo Girls for all of your artistry and to say and sing and play with so much connection and truth!!

  18. D.... Y....

    Can someone please tell me what a 'blind-sided highway' is?

    P.S. This is the greatest song the Indigo Girls ever wrote.

    D.... Y....

    It's a reference to a road which bends in such a way that you can't see around the bend, and thus have no idea what's coming. I trust the metaphor is obvious.

  19. g.... ....

    Perahu Kertas by Dee brought me here XD

  20. t.... ....
