lyrics

HIM:
Woman, I’ve been watching you struggle,
All through the night, all of your life
lay your troubles on me
For is it not written –
A man and a woman, in such conditions
Might find some peace?

And I know you believe
There’ll be a time when God will test your conviction,
But listen to me -
I’ve got enough love
For both you and He.

If this should pass
Let all shame be upon us
I’ve never been more certain
That this is where he wants us,
I’ve been wrong before, well…

But you’re making me hopeful
That’s something that I did not expect to be
lying in your arms
a victim of your charms
you just
make me want to believe
You’re a mystery to me and I hope you stay that way

HER:
I can see what you offer
Though I’m afraid it is a step into the dark,
Though my path is still certain,
When you smile it luminates my heart.

For you see I believe
There’ll be a time when we must roll up our sleeves
And in put in some work
I’ve got plans
Beyond this Earth.

For such a human love
To question my devotion
The devil’s greatest spell
Is in this mixture of emotion,
Maybe we’re just blind?

But you’re making me hopeful
That’s something that I did not expect to be
lying in your arms
a victim of your charms
you just
make me want to believe
You’re a mystery to me and I hope you stay that way

HIM:
Holding my prayers
Underneath your breath
There’s nothing wrong
With admitting that we’ve been blessed,
You can’t control everything,
not everything.

HER:
But you’re making me hopeful
That’s something that I did not expect to be
I’ll be the wife to thee
You’ll hold me tenderly
You just
Make me want to believe
You’re a mystery to me and I hope you stay that way
Oh be a mystery to me come on let’s just stay this way.
