The Mystery Of Love
Marianne Faithfull · Other Songs - Marianne Faithfull
The world's in two, and I'm a fool
When you're not in my sight
Then everything just fades from view
The mystery of love belongs to you
The mystery of love belongs to you
Tell me, have you changed your mind?
Am I a fool, because of you?
Tell me, do we still have time?
To make this wrong some how right?
The mystery of love belongs to you
The mystery of love belongs to you
Show me sweetness, show me summer skies
Show me how to make this wrong seem right
Show me laughter in your pale blue eyes
Tell me, tell me, have you changed your mind

As a standalone recording, it highlights her ability to convey deep sentiment without relying on elaborate production, focusing instead on the authenticity of her performance and the lyrical narrative of unrequited or elusive affection.
