MYSTERIES
From the album '
Out Of Season' [4:39]


LYRICS:

God knows how I adore life
When the wind turns on the shores lies another day
I cannot ask for more
And when the time bell blows my heart and I have scored a better day
Well nobody made this war of mine

And the moments that I enjoy
A place of love and mystery
I'll be there anytime

Oh mysteries of love where war is no more
I'll be there anytime

And when the time bell blows my heart and I have scored a better day
Well nobody made this war of mine

And the moments that I enjoy
A place of love and mystery
I'll be there anytime

Mysteries of love where war is no more
I'll be there anytime

INFORMATION:

When Beth and Paul started making the album all they had was Beth's chords and melody for "Mysteries" and Paul's lyric to "Rustin Man".

Appropriately, "Mysteries" was selected as the album's first radio track although it was never released as a proper single.


VIDEO INFORMATION:

Director:
Dominic Leung (a member of the Hammer & Tongs directing team)

"Mysteries" features Beth and Paul walking around the countryside, hence the nature theme's heavy presence on the album. The video was shot beautifully with lots of zooming images and fast cuts.

Availability:
Available on the U.S. edition of "
Out Of Season".
