Mystery Repeats Itself (A Joe Nolan Song)

Do not speak the name of God
If you know what's best
The paper said that God is dead
Why then won't he rest
I do not speak your name my love
It does not cross my lips
But like a trigger finger dear
Sometimes my tongue it slips

Now I ain't got God
And I ain't got you
The Mystery repeats itself
And I ain't got a clue

Do not stop before his gaze
You'll surely turn to stone
Since you left me here these days
I spend my nights alone
Do not look into his face
He'll see your secret lies
What happened to the hope and grace
I found once in your eyes

Now I ain't got God
And I ain't got you
The Mystery repeats itself
And I ain't got a clue

Ocean rise
Ocean fall
Behind your eyes
Before us all
Fly so high
Fall so low
Kingdom come
Kingdom go

Do not seek him out my love
The watched pot never boils
Your staring at the fangs
But he's hidden in the coils
I did not seek you out my love
The day that you appeared
And I did not see you leaving
By the time I felt you near

Now I ain't got God
And I ain't got you
The mystery repeats itself
And I ain't got a clue






Love, Joe Nolan
