She’s the ancient longing
That i feel beside the ocean
When i look across the waters deep and still
She’s a new belonging
Like some love-inducing potion
And i’ll never reach the bottom of this well

'cause she wants to be a mystery
And i know i’ve never found her really
She wants to be a mystery to me
She wants to be a mystery
So i wrap my soul around her because
She’ll always be a mystery to me

She’s a side of god
I’ve never seen in my own soul
A whisper of the way we ought to be
She’s a soft reminder
Of the world when it was whole
And part of her is just beyond my reach

'cause she wants to be a mystery
And i know i’ve never found her really
She wants to be a mystery to me
She wants to be a mystery
So i wrap my soul around her because
She’ll always be a mystery to me

As timeless as the mountains and the sea
The beauty of a lady mystery
She wants to be a mystery
And i know i’ve never found her really

'cause she wants to be a mystery
And i know i’ve never found her really
She wants to be a mystery to me
She wants to be a mystery
So i wrap my soul around her because
She’ll always be a mystery to me
