I first heard a trimmed down version of this wonderful song a few weeks ago when it was played for a rumba heat in a European dance competition. I loved the melody and lyrics and tracked down the video, which is today's Musical Sunday offering: Roy Orbison singing "She's a Mystery."
Here are the lyrics:
Darkness falls and she will take me by the handTake me to some twilight landWhere all but love is greyWhere I can't find my wayWithout her as my guideNight falls I'm cast beneath her spellDaylight comes our heaven turns to hellAm I left to burn and burn eternallyShe's a mystery to meShe's a mystery girlShe's a mystery girlIn the night of love words tangled in her hairWords soon to disappearA love so sharp it cutLike a switchblade to my heartWords tearing me apartShe tears again my bleeding heartI want to run she's pulling me apartFallen angel cries and I just melt awayShe's a mystery to meShe's a mystery girlShe's a mystery girlShe's a mystery girlShe's a mystery girlHaunted by her side is the darkness in her eyesThat so enslaves meBut if my love is blindThen I don't want to seeShe's a mystery to meNight falls I'm cast beneath her spellDaylight comes our heaven turns to hellAm I left to burn and burn eternallyShe's a mystery to meShe's a mystery girlShe's a mystery girlShe's a mystery girlShe's a mystery girlShe's a mystery girlShe's a mystery girlShe's a mystery girlShe's a mystery girl
