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
