Musical Sunday


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 hand 
Take me to some twilight land 
Where all but love is grey 
Where I can't find my way 
Without her as my guide 
Night falls I'm cast beneath her spell 
Daylight comes our heaven turns to hell 
Am I left to burn and burn eternally 
She's a mystery to me 

She's a mystery girl 
She's a mystery girl 

In the night of love words tangled in her hair 
Words soon to disappear 
A love so sharp it cut 
Like a switchblade to my heart 
Words tearing me apart 
She tears again my bleeding heart 
I want to run she's pulling me apart 
Fallen angel cries and I just melt away 
She's a mystery to me 

She's a mystery girl 
She's a mystery girl 
She's a mystery girl 
She's a mystery girl 

Haunted by her side is the darkness in her eyes 
That so enslaves me 
But if my love is blind 
Then I don't want to see 
She's a mystery to me 
Night falls I'm cast beneath her spell 
Daylight comes our heaven turns to hell 
Am I left to burn and burn eternally 
She's a mystery to me 

She's a mystery girl 
She's a mystery girl 
She's a mystery girl 
She's a mystery girl 
She's a mystery girl 
She's a mystery girl 
She's a mystery girl 
She's a mystery girl 

Have a good day and enjoy the rest of your weekend. More thoughts coming.
