Intro

Mystery

All my life has been a mystery

 You and I were never ever meant to be

 That's why I call my love for you a mystery

Riff

Different country

 You and I have always lived in a different country

 And I know that airline tickets don't grow on a tree

 So what kept us apart is plain for me to see

 That much at least is not really a mystery

Riff

Estuary

I live in a houseboat on an estuary

 Which is handy for my work with the Port Authority

But I know you would have found it insanitary

Insanitary

Insanitary…

Riff

Hate me

I'd be foolish to ignore the possibility

 That if we'd ever actually met, you might have hated me

Still, thats not the only problem that I can see

Riff

Dead since 1993

You've been dead now . . . wait a minute, let me see

Fourteen years come next January

As a human being you are history

So why do why I still long for you?

 Why is my love so strong for you?

Why did I write this song for you?

Well, I guess it's just a mystery
