lyrics

A book could fall into my lap, open at the very page
I need to read. I'm never far away.
My friend Tara's a yoga teacher but she doesn't drink herbal tea.
Oh life is full of mysteries like these.

I'll burn the logs from the pile we built to keep our family warm
And all the while evict invertebrates.
They're mothers too, just like me but I cast them off like bad TV.
Oh life is full of mysteries like these.

Mysteries like these, mysteries like these, mysteries like these, mysteries like these.

So with loosened tongue and tired shoulders, I'll crawl the banks between the boulders, 'cause life is soft and very kind to me.
With an open heart and enquiring mind, I'll search beneath the waterline for answers to the mysteries I see.

Mysteries like these, mysteries like these, mysteries like these, mysteries like these.

If we go through life sorry and sound, will we be always lost and never found. The withered seeds that never touched the ground.
And the weeds that grow from low to high, they burst with life and then they die, oh life is full of mysteries like these.

Mysteries like these, mysteries like these, mysteries like these, mysteries like these.
