Still A Mystery - Fairport Convention

Look to the left then to the right

Down where you’re walking

You’re like a spark to dynamite

The way that you’re talking

Every lover that you’ve ever known

Has tried to find someone inside

And there’s tears unanswered on your telephone

So many places to hide

You’re still a mystery

You’re acting out the part and giving out the orders

There’s footprints on your heart and ghosts on every cornr

You run to the darkness and you touch the flam

To see who’s coming out to play

You run one finger down your list of names

Who’s going to get it today?

You’re still a mystery

You’re still a mystery

Stay out late on the tiles running loose

Acting wild — never worry

Take what’s mine, give too much on the line

Need no crutch — end of story

Is this the person that I love

Or a shadow that I’m chasing?

Are those dark clouds up above

Or just the way I’m facing?

I tried hard to be the one you need

Holding out for what was true

With you dissatisfaction’s guaranteed

Where can I go, what can I do?

You’re still a mystery

You’re still a mystery

Stop playing games with me

You’re still a mystery
