Mystery

Live · Songs from Black Mountain [2006]

My ammunition won't load into my gun

My inhibitions, they fall like the weight from a stone

You lead my heart away like a homeless, dusted fool

Somehow this dimestore ring still shines like a diamond to you



Oh, how it deepens

Oh, how it deepens



Your mystery

Keeps on turnin' me on

Your mystery



Thought I knew the rules

Thought I held it in my hands

Thought I was bulletproof 'til the blood pooled up in the sand

Are you a satellite? A shooting star or a dove?

Did we put you way up there or did God send you down from above?



Oh, how it deepens

Oh, how it deepens



Your mystery

Keeps on turnin' me on

Your mystery

Burns me up like the sun

Your mystery



Mine eyes have seen the glory of a love that does transcend

Mine eyes have seen the worst inside of man

And the fear is like a fallen bridge

A broken promise

And the proof is in the bloodshot eyes of the one who failed to see



Your mystery

Keeps on turnin' me on!



(Heaven is one so why believe when you can see it for yourself)
