From the Album "Shadows"

"The Only Mystery"

Words and Music by Mike Shields
Vocals and instruments by Mike Shields

I play a memory on the stereo
Another vinyl dream
A mystery tour and a fairy tale
About an eggman's scheme

Every record holds a part of me
Revolving through my mind
Playing glimpses of what used to be
And what remains inside

Bridge
Has it been so very long ago
Where's the time gone now
Somebody crept off with my yesterdays
But left behind their sound

Music is the only mystery
My answer to your God
A mantra that unlocks eternity
A lifetime in a song

So play some magic on an old guitar
Sing a lullaby
Hold the music always in your heart
It will never die

Bridge
