MYSTIFIED
Rändi Fay (BMI)/Aaron Zinsmeister (BMI)

Waking up, I feel you next to me, the scent of your cologne still lingers on my lips
Glowing strands of morning feed my unease: I’ve much to do, no time for this...

But there you are in a tangle of Egyptian cotton
Gold light tracing lashes laced with sleep
I touch your face, tracing intimacy not forgotten
How did you find your way to me?

I am mystified, can't understand
I am mystified, you've drawn me in
As you lay by my side, our spirits collide and I am mystified

Reaching up, I pull my curtains down and grab a towel as I block the rising sun
Run a shower hot as steam pours from me while I wash away the work I haven’t done...

But there you lie, in the image of a noble mountain
Smooth lines silhouetted peacefully
And now my heart's spilling stardust like a roman fountain
Can I make room for you and me?

I am mystified, can't understand
I am mystified, you've drawn me in
As I lay by your side, our spirits collide and I am mystified

Alone, before you, I kept ev'ry little thing in line
I counted my grapes, decanted my wine
While loneliness settled like snow on the pillow beside me, so cold
Now’s the time I will stay to hold you close and not let go

I am mystified, can't understand
I am mystified, you've drawn me in
As we lay side by side, baring all that we hide
Is there a reason? I'm afraid of asking why am I mystified?

I am mystified, I'm in a spin
I am mystified, can’t comprehend
As we lay side by side, and our spirits collide, yet I am mystified.
