She’s a Mystery to Me Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Darkness falls and she
Will take me by the hand
Take me to some twilight land
Where all but love is grey
Where I can’t find my way
Without her as my guide

[Bridge 1]
Night falls, I’m cast beneath her spell
Daylight comes, our heaven turns to hell
Am I left to burn
And burn eternally?
She’s a mystery to me

[Chorus]
She’s a mystery girl
She’s a mystery girl

[Verse 2]
In the night of love
Words tangled in her hair
Words soon to disappear
A love so sharp it cut
Like a switchblade to my heart
Words tearing me apart

[Bridge 2]
She tears again my bleeding heart
I wanna run, she’s pulling me apart
Fallen angel cries
And I just melt away
She’s a mystery to me

[Chorus]
She’s a mystery girl
She’s a mystery girl
She’s a mystery girl
She’s a mystery girl

[Verse 3]
Haunted by her side
It’s the darkness in her eyes
That so enslaves me
But if my love is blind
Then I don’t want to see
She’s a mystery to me

[Bridge 1]
Night falls, I’m cast beneath her spell
Daylight comes, our heaven turns to hell
Am I left to burn
And burn eternally?
She’s a mystery to me

[Chorus]
She’s a mystery girl
She’s a mystery girl
She’s a mystery girl
She’s a mystery girl

[Chorus]
She’s a mystery girl
She’s a mystery girl
She’s a mystery girl

[Chorus]
She’s a mystery girl
She’s a mystery girl
She’s a mystery girl

About

Written by Bono and The Edge of U2 (apparently credited under their real names, Paul Hewson and Dave Evans, respectively), this was the third single from Orbison’s 1989 album, “Mystery Girl”, the name of which was inspired by this song. The writing style hints at the changes that would be heard in later albums by U2.

Unfortunately, Orbison passed away shortly before his album was released. Among others, like the now-late Barbara Orbison, Roy’s widow, Bono was one of the producers of the album, too.
