The Mystery - Smith & Dragoman

It's a lie that's filled with reason It's a chord you'll never figure out And there's something about this machine That tells you that this was the right thing How can I bond with something That doesn't have a soul? It's time to get to the bottom of it And let the mystery unfold

Got a letter from a mystery man In between the lines, he don't understand He's on a mission in Mozambique The room is wired and I just can't speak In the middle of it all, he can waste no time In the middle of it all, he just says goodbye, goodbye Got to get there just as fast I can A pink carnation on a mystery man A rendezvouz in Romania Double agents in Australia In the middle of it all, he can waste no time In the middle of it all, he just says goodbye, goodbye In the middle of it all, he can waste no time In the middle of it all, he just says goodbye, goodbye In the middle of it all, he can waste no time In the middle of it all, he just says goodbye, goodbye

Многие помнят, какой эффект произвела знаменитая мелодия из фильма " Начало", называемая там, и самими Поющими Гитарами на диске " Цыганочкой". Долго думал, что это отечественое произведение, основанное на на наших родных мелодиях. Естественно, ни в фильме, ни на пластинке не упоминалось, что это " Man of Mystery" группы The Shadows в исполнении Hank Marvin. Правда, в исполнении Гитар она весьма впечаляет!

Turnin' back the hands of time Holdin' on to misty memories Chasin' shadows thru the night Tryin' to find that happy ending Reaching out for another chance at heaven We can still find the way if we try You gotta believe in the mystery How it used to be We were more than lonely drifters in the dark Oh I can remember the sun inside When love held us tight Can't you see I need that magic in my heart Instead of it tearing apart Diamonds shinin' in the night Lyin' soft and warm together Only images survive Can't this dream go on forever? There is still time to lock away the sadness Let the secrets of love start to smile It's only believin' the mystery Like it used to be Baby bring back all the passion to my life Oh don't you remember the tender days All the love we made Can't we feel that warm sensation here tonight, oh... Lonely spirits seem to whisper in the wind It's a silent song that's never meant to be Since the dawn of time the mystery never ends We can find forever If we let love rise again Won't you reach for another Chance at heaven We can still find the way if we try It's only believin' in the mystery How it used to be Baby bring back all the passion to my life Oh cause I can remember the tender days All the love we made I need to feel that warm sensation - oh baby Mystery How it used to be We were oh so much more Oh baby, don't you remember (sun inside) (Held us tight) Love held us tight Turn around and look at me baby Oh we gotta get back, gotta get back, gotta get back, gotta get back Please take me there - Oh I remember all the passion Tender days - all the love we made And I need to feel you baby...

The cord that pulls me closer, to the centre of the moon He came into this world on the king of days, not a moment too soon All the spirit of faith contained in Him, like a vessel He encompassed the Word The ark on the water through stormy seas, He sails on unperturbed He wore the holy Aba, the Holy One from the East In the soul of the world He built a Fire, and I'm burning away in its heat Oh the promise is made with creation, a covenant for all humankind A fortress of strength for my wandering Heart, to its magnet of love I will bind And then, He holds out His hand, He's doing His part, the promise of ages past And I'm drawn like a cord to the Covenant, Oh I cling to the hem of His garment The pure and stainless mirror, in the station of servitude The pivot of oneness in a fractured world, born of the Ancient Root In the Tablet of the Branch He named You, the appointed one to shepherd the herd The Perfect Exemplar to guide the way, Interpreter of His word "Be thou so steadfast in my love that thy heart shall not waver"1 "Even if... the heavens and [the]earth arise against thee"2 "Be thou as a flame of fire... and a river of live eternal"3 "[And] be not shaken... for I am with you always... As ye have faith so shall your powers and blessings be"4 1Bahá'u'lláh, Bahá'í Prayers, pg. 2112 2Bahá'u'lláh, Bahá'í Prayers, pg. 211 3Bahá'u'lláh, Bahá'í Prayers, pg. 211 4Abdu'l-Bahá.
