Lyrics

[Verse 1]
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
[Verse 2]
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
[Verse 3]
She's a mystery girl
She's a mystery girl
[Verse 4]
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
[Verse 5]
She tears again my bleeding heart
I wanna run, she's pulling me apart
Fallen angel cries and I just melt away
She's a mystery to me
[Verse 6]
She's a mystery girl
She's a mystery girl
She's a mystery girl
She's a mystery girl
[Verse 7]
Haunted by her side, it's 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
[Verse 8]
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
[Verse 9]
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
