Mystery
All  my life  has been a mystery
 You  and I were  never ever meant  to be
 That's  why I call  my love for you a mystery
Different  country
 You  and I have always lived  in a different country
 And  I know that airline tickets  don't grow on a  tree
 So  what kept us apart  is plain for me to  see
 That  much at least is not really a mystery
Estuary
I  live in a houseboat  on an estuary
 Which  is handy for my work  with the Port  Authority
But  I know you would have  found it insanitary
Insanitary
  Insanitary…
Hate  me
I'd  be foolish to ignore  the possibility
 That  if we'd ever actually met,  you might have hated  me
Still,  thats not the only problem  that I can  see
Dead  since 1993
You've  been dead  now . . . wait a minute, let me see
Fourteen  years come next  January
As  a human being  you are history
So  why do why I still long  for you?
 Why  is my love so strong  for you?
Why  did I write this song  for you?
 Well, I guess it's just a mystery
Mystery
 Ending: ,  x2
