Mystery Of Love Lyrics - David Gates

The city gates at twilight 

And a red ship sinking 

Behind winter's grey 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 in the red chair 

And nothing in the world 

'cept the beating of my heart 

Against the nerves of the air

And I know there's a light 

At the end of the tunnel 

Cos I taste it on your lips 

And I feel a weight 

That can bear 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 

Its 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 

We can't change the past 

So we'll 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 collonades 

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
