I started “Mystère” on January 17 and finished it on February 25, 2015. “Mystère” is my 37th song in a songwriting challenge I call “52 Songs In 52 Weeks,” where my goal is to write and record a song a week for a year. The song has lyrics in French and English.

Lyrics for Mystère
Paint the red sky
With deep, black sea
Put out the torch
So the night can breathe

Move together
In the sheltering dream
Paint the red sky
With deep, black sea

Chorus
Oh! Mystère
Tard dans la nuit
Oh! Mystère
Au dedans la nuit

Take the love
That makes you weak inside
That makes your legs shake
Mouth feel dry

Take the love
Too blind to see
And give it all
Of your mystery

Chorus
Oh! Mystère
Tard dans la nuit
Oh! Mystère
Au dedans la nuit

Solo

Chorus
Oh! Mystère
Tard dans la nuit
Oh! Mystère
Au dedans la nuit
