Mystery Mind Songtext
von Mark Heard

"I need you" was all I said
But she did not hear a word
Something else was what she heard
Was it something I said?
What I meant was "I love you"
"I just can′t" was her reply
Then the rain fell through her eyes
While she stared at her shoes

If I could get her to give me a clue
If I could get her to give me a clue
If I could get her to give me a clue
To her mystery mind
She might feel she could be better
She might feel like she could just go on
And stare straight at me with her serious eyes


I said, "Please, I hate to pry"
"Well then don't" she told my eyes
Mumbling something about some child
Born to troublesome times
She has quite a handsome smile
But it fades and she can look
Like she′s been riding on the back of a tiger
Through a tunnel of fire

I have heard that love is blind
But I see her all too well
How she keeps things to herself
Like she's the scene of some crime
Will I go down to my grave
Never having known her touch
Never managing so much
As to hold her in vain?
