"Mystery" – Hugh Laurie

Intro (Riff): , , , 

 
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 Port Authority 
                                      
But I know you would have found it insanitary 
                 
Insanitary… Insanitary…

Hate me
                                
I'd be foolish to ignore the possibility 
                                                
That if we'd ever actually met, you might have 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
