Mystery
she is a mystery
hiding in a plastic smile
she is my history
she is the mighty nile
why restless heart
cry restless heart
try restless heart
unlock the mystery
let it drift into my sea
who is she anyway
she’s a flower who made my day
she is a mystery
waiting for a love to come
she is my history
i am her moon and sun
why restless heart
cry restless heart
try restless heart
unlock the mystery
let it drift into my sea
who is she anyway
she’s a flower who made my day

About
I remember buying the cheap Ibanez acoustic guitar starter set and plucking around quite a bit back in college. This song emerged (as many of them do) from fretting a chord incorrectly. It was originally about a girl who I couldn’t quite get to know; but, after a few iterations and recordings during the next several years, it transformed into a song about my mom. I suppose psychologically that reveals a bit about me. I do consider the act of music creation to be quite therapeutic.
