Mystery Mind by Mark Heard Lyrics

[Verse 1]
I need you was all I said
But she did not hear a word
Something else was what she heard
Was it something I said

What I meant was I love you
I just can't was her reply
Then the rain fell through her eyes
While she stared at her shoes

[Chorus]
If I could get her to give me a clue
If I could get her to give me a clue
If I could get her to give me a clue
To her mystery mind
She might feel she could be better
She might feel she could just go on
And stare straight at me with her serious eyes

[Verse 2]
I said please I hate to pry
Well then don't she told my eyes
Mumbling something about some child
Born to troublesome times
She has quite a handsome smile
But it fades and she can look
Like she's been riding on the back of a tiger
Through a tunnel of fire

[Chorus]
If I could get her to give me a clue
If I could get her to give me a clue
If I could get her to give me a clue
To her mystery mind
She might feel that she could be better
She might feel like she could just go on
And stare straight at me with her serious eyes

[Verse 3]
I have heard that love is blind
But I see her all too well
How she keeps things to herself
Like she's the scene of some crime

Will I go down to my grave
Never having known her touch
Never managing so much
As to hold her in vain

[Chorus]
If I could get her to give me a clue
If I could get her to give me a clue
If I could get her to give me a clue
To her mystery mind
She might feel she could be better
She might feel like she could just go on
And stare straight at me with her serious eyes
