Darkness falls and she will take me by the hand Take me to some twilight land Where all but love is grey Where I can't find my way Without her as my guide Night falls I'm cast beneath her spell Daylight comes our heaven turns to hell Am I left to burn and burn eternally She's a mystery to me She's a mystery girl She's a mystery girl In the night of love words tangled in her hair Words soon to disappear A love so sharp it cut Like a switchblade to my heart Words tearing me apart She tears again my bleeding heart I want to run she's pulling me apart Fallen angel cries and I just melt away She's a mystery to me She's a mystery girl She's a mystery girl She's a mystery girl She's a mystery girl Haunted by her side is the darkness in her eyes That so enslaves me But if my love is blind Then I don't want to see She's a mystery to me Night falls I'm cast beneath her spell Daylight comes our heaven turns to hell Am I left to burn and burn eternally She's a mystery to me She's a mystery girl She's a mystery girl She's a mystery girl She's a mystery girl She's a mystery girl She's a mystery girl She's a mystery girl She's a mystery girl She's a mystery girl She's a mystery girl
