How Much Mystery Lyrics

despite the rain
you went out of your way
"no one should be alone on a day like this"
you said to me while my friend slept in

and the last day of my lie
sure felt like the last day of my life

how much mystery does one man need,
and how much would I trade for one sure thing?
I know bigger prices have been paid
but better men have passed this way

it's not a lot to add
sometimes it feels like a lot to ask

Cover art for How Much Mystery lyrics by J. Tillman

Beautiful song. These are great lyrics for reflecting on a traumatic event. I get the sense someone unexpected was there for Mr. Tillman in a time of need. Those moments reveal so much about people around us.

It really is sad.

I love when lyrics are specific enough to remind us of particular events, but vague enough for open interpretation.
