Mistress by The Sand Band Lyrics

Music is my mistress
She is my next of kin
She keeps one foot behind my door
So no one quite gets in
She wakes me in the dead of night
She knows everything I've done
She will talk me down from off the ledge
But still hand me the gun
She's the reason all my friends are here
And the reason I'm alone
She says even if i find my queen
She will not give up the throne

And when I say I'm gonna leave
She just laughs and leaves the door ajar
I think she knows i will never go
Until i know exactly who we are

If i hear singing in the distance
I know she's on her way
We don't discuss how long she's gonna stay
We can't look each other in the eye
Unless we speak the truth
I don't know when she first arrived
She's been here since my youth
She guides me to the waters edge
And leaves me there alone
But if i find a melody
She'll meet me back at home
And when I say I'm gonna leave
She just laughs and leaves the door ajar
I think she knows i will never go
Until i know exactly who we are
