You are the stranger in my life
The one I can't decode
Best to let you stay a mystery
Than to let new things get old.
But, on you, I won't give up
Look, I'm always by your side
It's you that I can't shy away from
From me, you don't have to hide.
Pen and paper can't speak these words
Ask me to read it now
Look in my eyes, see why I can't
Please then go on somehow.
Be like the bird upon the board
Solitary, but then not at all
See no one to the right or left
But always here my call.
Anything, I'lldo for you
All you have to do is ask
The slightest whim to cross your mind
Just speak it, I will take the task.
When our days of fun are gone
All is gone and we are done
We will go to meet out ends
And to see how far we've come.
As the light of life goes out
And they go to let us be
Four words, the last upon my lips
"My Mystery, My Charity."
