She’s A Mystery To Me.

“She’s a Mystery to Me” is a song written by Bono and The Edge of Band U2 and recorded by American rock legend, singer, songwriter and guitarist, the late Roy Kelton Orbison, (1936–1988). It was released in 1989 as a single from Orbison’s Mystery Girl album, his final release, and features Orbison’s signature emotive vocals on a dreamy, romantic track penned by the U2 members.

Recognizing the song’s potential, Bono and The Edge developed it as a tribute to Orbison’s timeless style. Orbison later recorded the song with Bono producing, adding his signature vocal depth to its dreamy, mysterious lyrics about love’s elusive nature.

She’s A Mystery To Me.

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.
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.
She’s a mystery girl.
She’s a mystery girl.
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.
She tears again my bleeding heart,
I want to run she’s pulling me apart,
Fallen angel cries and I just melt away,
She’s a mystery to me.
She’s a mystery girl.
She’s a mystery girl.
She’s a mystery girl.
She’s a mystery girl.
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.
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.
She’s a mystery girl. (repeated).
