Indigo Girls - Mystery lyrics

(handed down and made by hand)<br><br>Each time you'd pull down the driveway<br>I wasn't sure when I would see you again<br>Yours was a twisted blind sided highway<br>No matter which road you took then<br>Oh you set up your place in my thoughts<br>Moved in and made my thinking crowded<br>Now we're out in the back with the barking dogs<br>My heart the red sun<br>Your heart the moon clouded<br>I could go crazy on a night like tonight<br>When summer's beginning to give up her fight<br>And every thought's a possibility<br>And the voices are heard but nothing is seen<br>Why do you spend this time with me<br>Maybe an equal mystery<br><br>So what is love then is it dictated or chosen<br>(handed down and made by hand)<br>Does it sing like the hymns of 1000 years<br>Or is it just pop emotion<br>(handed down and made by hand)<br>And if it ever was there and it left<br>Does it mean it was never true<br>And to exist it must elude<br>Is that why I think these things of you<br>I could go crazy on a night like tonight<br>When summer's beginning to give up her fight<br>And every thought's a possibility<br>And the voices are heard but nothing is seen<br>Why do you spend this time with me<br>May be an equal mystery<br><br>But you like the taste of danger<br>It shines like sugar on your lips<br>And you like to stand in the line of fire<br>Just to show you can shoot straight from you hip<br>There must be a 1000 things you would die for<br>I can hardly think of two<br>But not everything is better spoken aloud<br>Not when I'm talking to you<br><br>Oh the pirate gets the ship and the girl tonight<br>Breaks a bottle to christen her<br>Basking in the exploits of her thief<br>She's a very good listener<br>Maybe that's all that we need<br>Is to meet in the middle of impossibility<br>We're standing at opposite poles<br>Equal partners in a mystery<br>(handed down and made by hand)<br><br>We're standing at opposite poles<br>Equal partners in a mystery
