James Gang - Mystery Lyrics






I knew what it was to be young once
But now I'm growin' so old
And for a time I had forgotten
But now I think about being young again

Strange old feeling is a-tugging on me
It's pulling me by the sleeve
Calling me back to something I let go
So far behind and so long ago

Warm and wild springs near my old home
Can your mystery hold me?
I'd like to share your secret again
Your body could soothe me

I knew what it was to be in love once
But now I'm growin' so cold
And for a time I had forgotten
But now I think about feeling love again

Strange old feeling is a-tugging on me
It's pulling me by the sleeve
Calling me back to something I let go
So far behind and so long ago

Warm and wild springs near my old home
Can your mystery hold me?
I'd like to share your secret again
Your body could soothe me

    I just realized at 62 yrs old that I have lived 10 lifetimes. Thank you Tommy. It sounds just as magical as it did in 1977 in my bachelor apartment.Sitting alone in the dark with you .

    J.... S....

    It was Summer of ‘77 when I heard this wonderful song and album. God I miss those times...

  19. P.... R....

    One of the most beautiful songs ever written!

  20. L.... P....

    ...... This song is F+$^ing AWESOME!!!! I've never heard it before!!

  21. V.... R....

    I’m doing the best I can to keep this magic alive!!!

    This reminds me of something that Greg Lake might have written for Emerson Lake and Palmer.

  23. D.... N....

  24. T.... P....

    Great song!!!!

  25. J.... R....

    Oh the memories.........…. bitter sweet and  brilliant

  26. V.... V....

    Haunting. Tommy Bolin's true talent were his vocals. His interest in integrating Jazz and really all forms of music with rock was groundbreaking for such a young man.

    V.... V....

    He was mature well beyond his years. The fact he wrote this type of music as a 19-25 year old kid says so much. He’s so fucking underrated it pisses me off.

    V.... V....

    Roy Kenner is doing the VOX here......

  27. A.... ....

    One of the sexiest songs every made. Thanks for the upload.

  28. I.... K....

    Bari bir de Türkçe yorum olsun... Tommy Bolin ne yazık ki erken gidenlerden... gitmeden de Deep Purple ‘ı çok enteresan bir çizgiye çekmiş, ardında nefis işler bırakan bir adam. Bu vesile ile Come Taste The Band’e de selam yollayalım.

  29. L.... C....

    Too the love of my life, from 17 too 22 all those years I regret not making her mine.

  30. T.... W....

    RIP Tommy Bolin...your forever 25

    T.... W....

    And a faster of the strings...

    T.... W....

    Sitting here in years. Wonderful wonderful song!
    My God I love this album!

    T.... W....

    In Tears....not years....

  31. g.... m....

    HOW OLD ARE WE !

  32. g.... m....

    no its not TOMMY ITS Roy !-SONG IS REALITY !

    g.... m....

    Nope Tommy .

  33. K.... K....

    I'm 64 and never heard this until yesterday. I'm used to Joe Walsh. I found this and I just keep playing it. Such a BEAUTIFUL SONG. It's like I want others to hear it cause their missing out.

    K.... K....

    Look up "Run, Run, Run" from the Domenic Troiano version of The James Gang. It is also very lovely.

    K.... K....

    Are not familiar with the whole album, James Gang Bang? Bolin is fantastic!

    K.... K....

    I loved this when I was 16, I live it still at 62

    K.... K....

    Tommy left a lot of great work behind. Check out Hello Again, after a while.

    K.... K....

    You need the whole album . You'll love " Alexis".

  34. g.... m....

    TIMELESS!

  35. T.... T....

    Man! How time flies! I wore out an 8-track tape of this album while dragging main street. After a major breakup back in those days, this song brought both tears and solace to my wounded heart.

    T.... T....

    It helped me survive a divorce at 22 yrs old.

  36. Y.... ....

    Zauberhaft!

  37. T.... ....

    im only 16 and I enjoy this song

    T.... ....

    I was 16 when I saw Tommy Bolin and The James Gang play. This is a hidden wonder.

    T.... ....

    I was 16 when I first heard it. I am 62 now

  38. Y.... ....

    Es ist traumhaft schön!!!

  49. e.... ....

    Classic

  50. J.... B....

    Now, almost 40 years later, this is still fresh. The difference is the depth of memory it brings. The song, itself, being one of my best. Thanks for posting.

  51. m.... ....

    magnifique.
    a tous ceux qui me sont chères.......................

  52. S.... B....

    One of my all time favorite songs... hard to find.. thanks for putting it up... ;-) 

    S.... B....

    Tommy sang this.

    S.... B....

    Definitely, Tommy, there's no mistaking his voice.

    S.... B....

    Oh ya definitely Tommy singing this . Great voice and great guitarist .

    S.... B....

    Love this song - too bad not better known- saw Zephyr when then they played Rapid City SD back in the day - what a loss when Tommy Bolin died at such a young age. This song achingly hints at what he might have given us. Glad he left is this.

  53. B.... K....

    그는 천재다.!

  54. C.... L....

    Such a beautiful song. I hope that others who would enjoy it find this gem!  James Gang - Mystery

    C.... L....

    feel like we do

    C.... L....

    Corvair Lane I did today, lovely

  55. P.... W....

    I 1st got this album in 1974 & it BLEW me away at age 20 and still does almost 40 years later! Alexis and Mystery on James Gang Bang just was the # 1 & 2 songs Tommy wrote and sang while adding strings to the back ground playing and the softness of his voice proved beyond a shadow of a doubt we have a true star in the sky!Only 4 days after my Daughter Heather was born Tommy past away leaving us way too soon & tears still come to my eyes every time an artist of this caliber takes his life away!

    P.... W....

    The rif on Alexis is played by GOD.

    P.... W....

    Philip Walden Bolin only sings Alexis on this album. Roy Kenner sings this track and the others. Bolin only sang one song on Miami as well - Spanish Lover

    P.... W....

    I hear you brother. I was there also.

  56. g.... m....

    SINCE I WAS 16-NOW MORE THAN EVER!

  57. J.... B....

    Thank you! Brings back strange old memories!

  58. d.... m....

    I heard this song on 8 track when I was 7 years old, the 8 track was not labeled and I could never find this tune until 35 years later! As great as it was when I was young!

  59. t.... ....

    I used to have this album, great tune.

  60. c.... ....

    thanx for the upload :) The first dream I had in months, I woke up with a dream of this song, it was so vivid. The ending could be much longer - it's just beautiful...i think Bolin's best.

  61. D.... H....

    Great song...beautiful.

  62. r.... l....

    smiling!

  63. k.... ....
