The Mystery Of Life

(альбом: On My Side - 1971)

Round the mystic stream
Gaze all eighteen
From babe to philosopher
Watch the stoics face
He and the race
Cannot solve the mystery of life
Who knows the answer
Who knows the answer

Floating in the air
'Bore her children
The mother found it there no doubt
And with a knowing smile
The wise ole man
Knew it and was quite content
Who knows the answer
Who knows the answer
Who knows the answer

If you knew, would you tell me
If you knew, would you believe
It's true
The father and the nun
In religion
Surely found the answer there
The lovers felt it when
They were kissing
The fool, well he just
Turned away and said
Who knows the answer
Who knows the answer
