When that mockingbird sings at midnight

The world is like a dream

Nothing's what it used to be

There’s a veil over everything

Reflections on the water

Reflections in my eyes

It seems all these reflections

Are but a thin disguise

No answer to my question

But silence is the key

I will go as I came

Lost in mystery

My best thoughts come at midnight

My mind goes out for miles

It roams the rings of Saturn

And stays here all the while

My past plays like a movie

It's such a ribald tale

The people I have known

I see in fine detail

No answer to my question

But silence is the key

I will go as I came

Lost in mystery

Li li li li li ….

I keep trying to pull that curtain

From that hidden face

I think I catch a glimpse of it

But it keeps falling back in place.

Everywhere there’s a voice

That’s sings in no man’s tongue

Everyone gets to hear it

They just can’t tell anyone.

No answer to my question...

But silence is the key

I will go as I came

Lost in mystery

Li li li li li ....

There’s no way to name

With what I commune

The night is my cathedral

My chalice is the moon

The sky’s a velvet blanket

The stars are silver jewels

And the mockingbird sings his heart out

Are we angels or are we fools?

No answer to my question...

But silence is the key

I will go as I came

Lost in mystery

I will go as I came

Lost in mystery
