Hugh Laurie, Stephen Fry - Mystery lyrics

Mystery all my life has been a mystery
You and I were never ever meant to be
It's why I call my love for you a mystery

Different country
You and I have always lived
In a different country
And I know that airline
Tickets don't grow on-a-tree
So what kept us apart is plain for me to see
That much at least is not really a mystery
Estuary i live in a houseboat on an estuary
Which is handy for my work
With the Thames Water Authority
But, I know you would
Have found it insanitary, insanitary

Taken a violent dislike to me
I'd be foolish to ignore the possibility
You might have hated me
Still, that's not the only problem
That I can see

Dead since 1973
You've been dead now wait a minute
Let me see
Fifteen years come next "Jan yoo-a ree"
As a human being you are history

So why do why I still long for you?
Why is my love so strong for you?
Why did I write this song for you?
Well, I guess it's just a mystery
