Mystery of Love Lyrics


The city gates at twilight
And a red ship sinking
Behind winters gray wall
Ice in the windBut a fire in the embers of my heart as darkness falls
In a candlelit room where your eyes are laughing
Smoking on the red chair and nothing in the world
'Cept the beating of my heart against the nerves of the airAnd I know theres a light at the end of the tunnel
Cause I taste it on your lips and I feel a weight
That can bend me double
You lift it with your fingertipsSo often it happens that words prove useless
In the face of how it feels
So it is as the mystery of love keeps growing
The more my heart revealsTemptations endless whispers
Try to keep it in perspective so much to distract
Walking on a wire while your juggling desire
It's all part of this balancing actAnd it gets hard to know just what you believe
As the argument rages on
But for all of the talk, it's only true to say

That if you have no hope, there is noneA tangle of tongues, flesh flowers and thistles
Of conscience, spittle and skin
And we can't change the past
So well raise this cup to our lips and drink it all inAnd meantime back in civilization
The rain is cold as steel
But the mystery of love, it just keep growing
The more my heart revealsAs sure as the rose, the bright day blooms
As surely still it fades
And the night kindles stars on empty winds
And ghosts along the colonnadesAnd slow but sure the sands are falling
As the bridge burns beneath the wheel
And the mystery of love, it just keeps growing
The more my heart revealsThe more my heart reveals
The more my heart reveals
The more my heart reveals

David Gray is a British singer-songwriter born on June 13, 1968 in Sale, United Kingdom. He released his first studio album in 1993 and received worldwide attention after the release of White Ladder six years later in 1999.

Gray moved to Wales at age 9 and later returned to the north-west of England to attend the University of Liverpool. His musical career got early support from a dedicated Irish fan base. After a few marginally-successful releases through the 1990s, Gray's breakthrough came with the worldwide release in 1999 of his fourth album, White Ladder; this was a critical and commercial success and included his best-known songs, "This Years Love" and "Babylon". In the United States, the album received a boost from jam-band leader Dave Matthews, who made it the first release by the record company he co-founded, ATO Records.

On August 11, 2001 White Ladder at last reached the top of the UK charts, having been selling steadily since its reissue the previous May, thereby setting a new record for the longest uninterrupted climb to No. 1. The follow-up, A New Day At Midnight, also hit No. 1, and Gray's seventh album, Life In Slow Motion was released on September 12, 2005.

Gray's early music was in a contemporary folk-rock, singer-songwriter mode; his primary instrument was acoustic guitar, with occasional piano. 1996's Sell Sell Sell featured some rock arrangements and electric instrumentation. Starting with the release of White Ladder in 1999, Gray began to make significant use of computer-generated music to accompany his voice and acoustic instrumentation, a technique which differentiates him from many of his peers. Despite the move to more complex music, Gray has used small-scale, often home-based, recording methods and equipment and espoused a "do it yourself" approach to music production. However, Life in Slow Motion is a collaboration with noted producer Marius de Vries.

David Gray's brothers-in-law are Paul and Phillip Hartnoll, formerly of the Techno/Rave band Orbital. Because of this relationship, Gray performed guest vocals on the Orbital single Illuminate, while Paul Hartnoll produced a breakbeat remix of Gray's song "Please Forgive Me".

His successful single "January Rain" was included in the original soundtrack of the movie Serendipity, starring John Cusack and Kate Beckinsale.
