Mystery

All my life has been a mystery
You and I were never ever meant to be
That's why I call my love for you a mystery

Different country
You and I have always lived in a different country
And I know that airline tickets don't grow on a tree
So what kept us apart is plain for me to see
That much at least is not really a mystery

Estuary
I live in a houseboat on an estuary
Which is handy for my work with the Thames Water (2006: Port) Authority
But I know you would have found it insanitary
Insanitary

(2006: Hated me) Taken a violent dislike to me
I'd be foolish to ignore the possibility
That if we'd ever actually met, you might have (2006: taken a violent dislike to me) hated me
Still, thats not the only problem that I can see

Dead since 1993
You've been dead now . . . wait a minute, let me see
Fourteen years come next January
As a human being you are history

So why do why I still long for you?
Why is my love so strong for you?
Why did I write this song for you?
Well, I guess it's just a mystery
