♪ The city gate's a twilight And a red ship's sinking Behind winter's gray wall Ice in the wind By the fire in the embers Of my heart as darkness falls In a candlelit room Where your eyes are laughing Smoking on the red chairs I'm nothing in the world Except the beating of my heart Against the nerves of the air And I know there's a light At the end of the tunnel Cause I taste it on your lips And I feel a weight That can bear me double When you lift it with your fingertips So often it happens That words prove useless In the face of how it feels So it is as the mystery of love Keeps growing Before my heart reveals Temptations, endless whispers Try to keep it in perspective There's so much to distract Walking on a wire While you're juggling desire It's all part of this balancing act And it gets hard to know Just what you believe As the argument rages on But for all of the talk It's only true to say That if you have no hope There is no bridge A tangle of tongues Flesh, flowers, and thistles Of conscience, spittle, and skin And we can't change the past So we'll raise this cup to our lips And drink it all in In the meantime Back in civilization The rain is cold as steel But the mystery of love It just keeps growing The more my heart reveals Bridget, Bridget Yeah guitar solo As sure as the rose The bright day blooms As surely still it fades And the night kindles stars On empty winds And ghosts along the colonies And slow but sure The sands are falling As the bridge burns beneath the wheel The mystery of love It just keeps growing The more my heart reveals The more my heart reveals The more my heart Keep going The more my heart Just let it play Oh Let that candle burn Let that candle burn
