Mystery of Love Lyrics

The city gates at twilight And a red ship sinking Behind winters gray wall Ice in the wind
But a fire in the embers of my heart as darkness falls In a candlelit room where your eyes are laughing Smoking on the red chair and nothing in the world 'Cept the beating of my heart against the nerves of the air
And I know theres a light at the end of the tunnel Cause I taste it on your lips and I feel a weight That can bend me double You lift it with your fingertips
So often it happens that words prove useless In the face of how it feels So it is as the mystery of love keeps growing The more my heart reveals
Temptations endless whispers Try to keep it in perspective so much to distract Walking on a wire while your juggling desire It's all part of this balancing act
And it gets hard to know just what you believe As the argument rages on But for all of the talk, it's only true to say That if you have no hope, there is none
A tangle of tongues, flesh flowers and thistles Of conscience, spittle and skin And we can't change the past So well raise this cup to our lips and drink it all in
And meantime back in civilization The rain is cold as steel But the mystery of love, it just keep growing The more my heart reveals
As sure as the rose, the bright day blooms As surely still it fades And the night kindles stars on empty winds And ghosts along the colonnades
And slow but sure the sands are falling As the bridge burns beneath the wheel And the mystery of love, it just keeps growing The more my heart reveals
The more my heart reveals The more my heart reveals The more my heart reveals
