Mark Heard - Mystery Mind lyrics

“I need you” was all I said But she did not hear a word Something else was what she heard Was it something I said? What I meant was “I love you” “I just can't” was her reply Then the rain fell through her eyes While she stared at her shoes IF I COULD GET HER TO GIVE ME A CLUE IF I COULD GET HER TO GIVE ME A CLUE IF I COULD GET HER TO GIVE ME A CLUE TO HER MYSTERY MIND SHE MIGHT FEEL SHE COULD BE BETTER SHE MIGHT FEEL LIKE SHE COULD JUST GO ON AND STARE STRAIGHT AT ME WITH HER SERIOUS EYES I said, “Please, I hate to pry” “Well then don't” she told my eyes Mumbling something about some child Born to troublesome times She has quite a handsome smile But it fades and she can look Like she's been riding on the back of a tiger Through a tunnel of fire I have heard that love is blind But I see her all too well How she keeps things to herself Like she's the scene of some crime Will I go down to my grave Never having known her touch Never managing so much As to hold her in vain?
