Sweet Little Mystery (First Version) - John Martyn

Written by：John Martyn

Just that sweet little mystery that breaks my heart

Just that sweet little mystery makes me cry

O that sweet little mystery that's in your heart

It's just that sweet little mystery that makes me try

My friends all tell me that I look so sad

They don't need to ask me why

They know the reason that I feel so bad

Since the night you said goodbye

It's not the letters that you just don't write

It's not the arms of some new friend

It's not the crying in the dead of the night

That keeps me hanging on waiting for the end

Just that sweet little mystery that's in your heart

Just that sweet little mystery makes me cry

Oh that sweet little mystery that's in your heart

It's just that sweet little mystery that makes me try

The time is flying fast and I don't care

To spend another night alone

I want to see you but I don't know where

Till then I'm walking on my own

It's not the letters that you just don't write

It's not the arms of some new friend

It's not the crying in the depth of the night

That keeps me hanging on just waiting for the end

It's that sweet little mystery that's in your heart

It's just that sweet little mystery that makes me cry

Oh that sweet little mystery that's in your heart

It's just that sweet little mystery that makes me try

I watch the street I watch the radio

I don't need to turn it on

Another friend comes by and tries to say hello

Another weekend's almost gone

It's not the letters that you just don't write

It's not the arms of some new friend

It's not the crying in the depth of the night

That keeps me hanging on just waiting for the end

It's that sweet little mystery that's in your heart

It's just that sweet little mystery that makes me cry

Oh that sweet little mystery that's in your heart

It's just that sweet little mystery that makes me try

It's that sweet little mystery that's in your heart

It's just that sweet little mystery that makes me cry

Oh that sweet little mystery that's in your heart

It's just that sweet little mystery that makes me try
