Mysteries We Understand

Sophie B. Hawkins

Oh angel it's understood


What we could


Do together's every bit much better than good


I ain't looking for the sky to


Cover my head


Cover me I'll cover you again and again and again





Stay up all night to feed your fire


My day's a dream with you on my mind


I wake up tight full of desire


And you are the one who can unwind


My weather's always a surprise


Don't think you'll ever come prepared


But love's the lighthouse in my life


If you get scared





When you look in my eyes


Do you have faith like me


Love can heal the wounds


That cry us all to sleep





When you hear nature's voice


Whispering in your ear


Is heaven a-rejoicing


Even through the tears





When you become your light


Shining like the sun


Is peace within your mind


Where everything is one


Evil will not destroy


When love is in your hand


Now can be make believe


The mysteries we understand





Us angels we give it up


Just enough


Keep each other hanging on with a heavenly touch


I ain't playing with a goal to


Cover my ass


I am naked like a baby in the summer grass





New York's the only place I know


I'll take you on a guided tour


Through Central Park where only those


With seven senses feel secure


Then from my rooftop in the clouds


We'll dive into the glowing sea


And when we're falling look around


And tell me what you see





When you look in my eyes


Do you have faith like me


Love can heal the wounds


That cry us all to sleep
